Assignment 1
Geometry & Form
Task
Everything starts from the basic: points , lines and planes. This assignment requires me to explore these 3 forms by incorporating design principles and create 3 100mm x 100mm models & 1 final model. My chosen principle is rhythm.
Outcome
Points & rhythm
Model 1
Points are shown on the corners of the triangles that arranged in a spiral manner which represents rhythm. The chaotic movement of the spiral and bamboo sticks resembles human spinal cord.
Model 2
Model 3
Final model
Lines & Rhythm
Planes & Rhythm
Planes, lines & Rhythm
A vortex-like structure made from different size of rounded corner triangles. Lines are strongly shown by the gaps and edges of triangles although they are planes.
A solid structures consists of 3 levels going up in a spiral manner. The model looks like a motor generator. The movement of each levels ( rings ) are slanted, creating a illusion that the structure is turning and rotating.
The model is more towards a building, specifically a futuristic building. The waves create a direction that resembles rhythm with repeated balsa sticks. It is developed from model 2 with combination of elements in model 3.
Conclusion
The assignment gave me a good exposure to exploration of design basic, from points to planes. Besides, design principles are very useful and important to design a good building which is aesthetic pleasing that can serve as a sensorial and for users' feeling. The 4 images on left are tattoo stamps. Tattoo stamps are basically a form of my feelings when doing this assignments, what I felt, expression , my emotion by extracting the forms from my final model. ( Top, section and side views)
