About 1x1 Системаи мебели шаҳрӣ

1x1 системаи модулии мебели шаҳрӣ барои фазоҳои ҷамъиятӣ мебошад. Ҳар як унсур ба таври алоҳида ҳамчун нимкат, миз, гулдон ё сутуни чароғ кор мекунад, ё дар гурӯҳҳо, ки минтақаҳои хурди берунаро ташкил медиҳанд. Ҳамаи қисмҳо дорои як чорчӯбаи стандартӣ, як маводҳо ва як усулҳои маҳкамкунӣ мебошанд. Чӯб, бетони пешакӣ рехташуда ва пӯлоди зангногир истифода мешаванд. Ҷузъҳо берун аз макони насб истеҳсол шуда, сипас дар ҷои таъиншуда васл карда мешаванд, ки ин андозаи интиқолро кам мекунад. Системаро тавассути илова ё хориҷ кардани унсурҳо васеъ ё хурд кардан мумкин аст, аз ин рӯ истифодаи ҳам доимӣ ва ҳам муваққатӣ имконпазир аст.

The Recognition

About the Ҷоизаи тиллоии A' Design Award

1x1 Системаи мебели шаҳрӣ ғолиби Ҷоизаи тиллоии A' Design Award аст, ки эътирофи бениҳоят обрӯманд буда, ба тарҳҳои дараҷаи аввал, аҷоиб ва барҷаста дода мешавад. Ғолибони тилло офаридаҳои бағоят навоварона, дурандешона ва ҷилваноки дурахшонанд, ки нубуғ, хирад ва маҳорати тарроҳони худро инъикос мекунанд. Интизор меравад, ки 1x1 Системаи мебели шаҳрӣ ихтирои хеле ситоишшуда, роҳбаладгузор ва ёдгорӣ бошад, ки арзиши бесобиқа меорад.

Unique Properties: The design is a unique modular urban furniture family. Furniture elements work both as stand-alone urban furniture pieces as well as a small scale public realm with adjustable programs. Design can be described as flexible, scalable, industrial, modular urban furniture which can work as a permanent or temporary public space intervention. Due to the intelligent use of materials design achieves high optimization as all elements use the same standardized frame structure likewise common materials and fixing methods.
Dimensions & Packaging: Bench: 1000mm x 1000mm x 460mm
Table/Platform: 1000mm x 1000mm x 60mm
Lamppost: 100mm x 100mm x 1000mm
1m. Planter: 1000mm x 1000mm x 1000mm
0.5m Planter: 1000mm x 1000mm x 500mm
1m.Pipe: 100mm x 100mm x 1040mm

Production Technology: Materials:
Timber (Local or Baltic Birch)
Concrete (Precast)
Steel (Stainless Steel)

All the elements would be manufactured off-site and then brought for assembly to the site, thus optimizing the shipment size and convenience of production.

Realization Technology:
Manufacturing would be quite conventional since there is no complex geometry involved. Concrete would be precast, timber parts cut using usual machines and steel parts would be coming from semi-finished elements welded together.
Design Challenge: One of the hardest challenges was how to make individual elements work together in a vertical and horizontal structure layout. Furthermore, how to minimise material options as well as fixing methods while creating a robust and feasible design proposal.
Research: In the world, with continuous globalization and mass production, we forget to address the need for individuality. While in architecture it is a common understanding to respond to a site's specific needs and spatial qualities, street furniture is usually the victim of generic design. The industry is moving towards supply by demand model with local solutions and the customer having an increasingly higher voice in customization. 1x1 modular furniture design attempts to address these concerns
Inspiration: Design derived from the inspiration of a post-industrial site Refshaleoen, Copenhagen. Due to a comprehensive understanding of the site qualities, was pointed out the concern that the site would not have an extensive public realm, thus it was retrieved to hypothetically provide it through a multitude of small interventions. Furthermore, apart from the inspiration of rich and unique site qualities, the concept was influenced by insights of scaffolding structure and Dieter Rams shelving system 606.
Project Duration: The project is a conceptual design with design inspiration deriving from Refshaleoen, Copenhagen. Though design could be implemented and used in other sites, preferably within an industrial setting
Operation Flow: The system can work as individual furniture piece (bench/planter) or in groups forming small outside spaces (park/urban farm). While one might initially need only a small seating place outside their facility, another season might ask for a larger space where increasing numbers of visitors and clients could be accommodated. 1x1 design allows to expand or shrink by either adding or taking away individual elements. Furthermore, there is no need for a long-term commitment in case something changes.
