Now that my wall was granted direction, I had to design. Reflecting the wall's intention was an extension of a phone's social implications, I considered the wall's construction as an extension of the phone's physical/tactile experience. Initially I pictured the wall as a sheer surface, in which cavities would be occupied while using a cell phone. Expanding on the concept of reversed privacy, I developed the idea of using parabolic shapes within the cavities as a way to project sound, while still denying visual observation from outsiders. Drawing from my light studies, I saw an opportunity to reflect the way a cellphone allows us to effortlessly manipulate information. When a human occupies the wall, it would change internal lighting, in a way manipulating space the same way we manipulate data. A theme of minimalism was followed in an effort to reflect the minimal design/construction so often used in modern phones. Through the projection of sound, the manipulation of light (and therefore space), and a simplistic construction, the wall intended to expand on the experience of a cellphone. 

From my ideas I set out to construct a study model. While following my intentions of parabolic shapes affecting sound, I realized what would be my greatest obstacle: intuitive form. Making acoustic shapes in a wall was fairly straitforward, and forming them to fit human proportion was none-too-large a challenge either. The problem lied in the making the use of the shapes obvious to a passerby, someone without insight into my design intentions. My initial study model featured forms that certainly were ergonomic and parabolic, but i quickly realized it granted little intimition for intended use. 

Using a product called InstaMorph, I studied possible forms that would hopefully grant obvious clues to use. I found great difficulty in producing forms with obvious intention, while maintaining the informed subtlety I found in cell-phone design. My breakthrough came when I stopped the use of additive and subtractive methods, and instead explored worked shapes. The flowing shapes allowed me to create ergonomic faces, while hiding their intention in the abstract geometry. Furthermore, the complex sculptural shapes would encourage people to explore the shapes, and discover all the ways in which the form could be used. These InstaMorph studies allowed me to give the wall a much more sophisticated form.
