Water Light Graffiti by Antonin Fourneau.

3D doodle pen!

finished product (:

the process (:

im always interested in ways to mask necessity in fun and quirky ways and this is just absolutely adorable :P 

i found this on design boom and i found the structure to be truly amazing. at first i thought maybe the inspiration came from possibly a rubber band ball but when i read further i could now see the designers actual vision of an abstracted tree, the trunk being the main staircase located inside of the structure.

i found this relevant because during the processes of making our paper skirt for assignment one we observed one of the other groups origami and were able to modify it slightly to suite our designs needs. and i just think that whole art college experience is based off of this principal if not the whole art community.

this is insane! omg

so i found these designs in a magazine by peter donders and i just really like the use of form in the table and chair bases :)

Design

- design is to have a planned or arranged visual pattern that includes visual elements.

• the content is imperative to the successfulness of the design-- this includes subject, narrative and concept. 
• also the form of design or the manipulation of materials allows for the designs meaning to better shine through.

- the principals of design stems from : point/line/plane

• from that we have things like unity, focal point, scale, and proportion
• 
  

Line, Shape,Volume,mass Texture, Illusion of space

- analysis: communicating and idea and solving problems
- material explorations: experimenting visually
-perception: inspiration such as nature, cultural, or history. 

• compare and contrast

- 2-Dimensions are: length and breadth

To establish marks on a flat planar surface, that has no depth except for the illusionary kind. In the 2-d world we can organize visual elements to create harmony and unity on a picture plane. 
- in 3-Dimensional design: we see length (vertical direction up or down)
breadth (horizontal direction)
and depth (transverse direction)

**We live in a 3-dimensional world: what we see is not a flat picture plane only, but an expanse of objects in space, with physical depth and third dimension.** 

• form in space

-surface of relief

-depth of relief

-shadow and depth.

-point of view 

-spacial relations

• organization

-economy

-continuity

-implied structure

-random chance and order

-and predictability

• the 3-Dimensional world

-we must view the 3D world from different angel views and distances

• FORM AND OR FUNCTION?

- which is more important?

: every thing in the physical world has been designed

OUR PROJECTS:

Four Projects:
Project 1: Modular surface fabrica'on as a dynamic mul'ple-structure (Design Team)
Project 2: Serial planes: Biomorphic structure: Addi've and Subtrac've methods: Architectonic
Project 3: Platonic and Archimedean solids: Paper, balsa wood and wire kine'c mobile
Project 4: Stop mo'on anima'on: Integra've Final Project:
All previous material explora'ons will be integrated 

• serial planes

-used in many architectural designs

• paper multiples as textiles and fashion
