FALL 2018 - FALL 2020

PIET MONDRAIN "BOOGEY"

Studying the art work of Piet Mondrian's "Broadway Boogie - Woogie" we were to study it and research about some of his inspiration that went into the piece and create our own build that drew some inspiration from his art piece. I went with using some negative spaces in the build to add in the inspiration that I got from it and wanted the visitors to be able to interact with the element by making it a type of entrance to a balcony area. What I could've done better was leaving my straight edges more clean and making sure my measurements were more precise so all the elements that I want to insert fit nicely.

folding

In the folding assignment we were to create a building using the methods of origami. We were meant to make it withstand a certain amount of load without collapsing. The main material that I had used was chipboard and some regular white glue. Though the materials themselves weren't exactly stable the folding technique allowed them to be more sturdier and and hold up a large amount of weight.

Tower

The tower assignment had a group of 4 members to create a large tower that each person would have control over the design of each floor. We were to explain how each floor functioned and how it complimented the rest of the floors. For our tower in general we wanted to focus on the growth and progress of technology . So from the first floor the materials would be more natural like wood and string, while the other ones progressed to more advanced materials. I was assigned the top floor and used mainly wood for the build as I wanted the floor to still stay in theme with the rest of the others, but I used reflective materials and clear materials to signify minimalism and create interesting illusions with the mirrored panels in the inside.
