The Design
About X-Space Brandflugtsvindue
X-Space er et brandflugtsvindue designet til beboelsesrum, hvor flugtvejen kan blive blokeret under en brand. Designet er en redesign af vindueskarmen med en roterende strukturholder bestående af fem dele, der interagerer efter mekaniske principper. Ved at dreje håndtaget 180 grader mod uret udløses alarmen, og brandvæsenet bliver underrettet. Åbning af vinduet danner derefter et rum uden for væggen. En brandsikker skodde, skjult i holderens akse, trækkes ud for at isolere ild og røg, mens folk venter på redning.

- Production Technology
- Our project is kind of model combination design, combine with 5 holder parts. All holder interacting by mechanical principal with each other.
- Design Challenge
- The challenge of our design is that we cannot find a suitable material in smoke control and thermal isolated. After a number of tests in the selection of materials, we finally find the proper material which achieves the desired effect.
- Research
- In some kinds of situations of the fire that passageway has been blocked in accident. No matter what you do, you cannot escape from the fire through the door. Once fire coming up, the dark smoke billows on it’s heels. According to the data, as long as you get away from the fire in 3 minutes, the chance you will alive are occupied the certain proportion. Thus, we try to find a appropriate way in product design which can make people get away from the fire immediately. Finally, we find our point in window frame redesign.
- Inspiration
- By considering those circumstance always appearance in fire accident like passageway has been blocked so that the person inside the room cannot escape the scene of a fire immediately. To offer a better solution for trapped person get away form the fire quickly, we find the point in window frame redesign. We offer you X-Space, a redesign of window frame, the quickly way to get away from the fire and smoke.
- Project Duration
- The project started in August 2016 in LAFA Communal Facility Design Studio and finished in February 2017 in National Experimental Teaching Demonstration Center of Industrial Design in LAFA.
- Operation Flow
- In usual days, when you want to open your window, turn the handle into 90 degrees anti-clockwise. When fire coming up, turn the handle into 180 degrees anti-clockwise to trigger the fire alarm. As this time, if you open the window, all holder interacting by mechanical principal with each other are relevant with it. After all family members come into the X-Space waiting for rescued, you should pull out the fire resisting shutter which is hidden in the holder axis to cover the window position therefore it will constitute a safety space isolated the fire and smoke.
