Project Description:

 

You have each been given an outcome appropriate to your specialist field within the pathway. You are to use the knowledge, experience, processes and techniques learnt during the course to fulfil the criteria of your given brief.

As a starting point you should research existing objects/spaces/structures that exist which meet or are similar to the given requirements, annotating this as to how other designers have dealt with the subject, whether successfully or not. Formulate your own ideas and opinions as how to approach your designs and decide what intrinsic elements you should incorporate. For example, if you are designing a piece of furniture, the human body’s proportions have to be taken into consideration. If designing space the scale and function could dictate the appearance.

The design process must include a variety of ideas represented both graphically and in 3D form. The outcome whether it is fully functional, in model form or made as a prototype, should challenge the conventional conceptions inherent in the given outcome. Basically do not reproduce existing examples. Use your imagination, think laterally and out of the box!
 

 

 

Looking at the London duck and the way in which in designed made me want to dig deeper into the designer. I was interested in the fact that this vehicle was able to successfully sail in water as well as drive on road.

 

Here is a unique and abstract design by Atelier Van Lieshout. I love his work! They are both exciting and unique. Looking though his works, I was intrigued to know the meaning behind it. so I done a little bit of research and found that he wants the role, questioning the usefulness of art.

The Art Atelier Van Lieshout has frequently a function, such as a mobile accommodation or sanitary unit. The work of Atelier Van Lieshout extends from machinery to sculptures, from furniture to buildings, installations to draft utopian and dystopian cities. His work shows a recurring fascination systems: economic and political systems, society and the role of humans in this, self-sufficiency, the human body. 

Here is a tiny house designed and built by Jay Shafer, founder of the tiny house movement.
