Form Follows Function Presentation: 3D Model

The central issue that this project revolves around is noise pollution, especially within the music listening experience. From the loudest city streets to the quietest suburb, there is always a degree of sound that can be perceived. Anechoic chambers were an integral point of research since they are rooms that eliminate noise completely. The layout of the acoustic foam in these chambers had a lot of influence on the interior of this project. In terms of the comfort, record listening booths from the 1960s were looked into for the colors and furniture included.

The main cube structure itself is made out of 1 foot thick oriented strand board and is attached together through lap joints. Both the front (door side) and back faces are screwed into the base cube structure. After the interior side of the walls received their soundproofing foam on all faces [including the floor and ceiling] a metal grid was used to form a steady floor. A carpet was then placed on top of that grid so that no one loses anything if they drop it. Inside, the soundproofing foam pieces 2 feet long. There are two chairs to accommodate at least 2 people and the speakers inside are at ear level for optimum sonic quality.

As this project went along, I feel like my confusion surrounding the concept of form follows function increased. I understand form to be the infrastructure and overall physical elements of an object while function is the job the item itself gets done.
