Some experiments with different materials - and what they seem to lend themselves to -
Baking beans - these beans are ceramic and have a natural, almost stone like appearance -I marked out swirls and circles with them. I think they would look good sited in a structural form in the natural environment.
Continuing the clothes peg theme -
Looking a pegs - different ways to assemble them and disassemble them and their component parts - simple construction but quiet interesting design. The metal spring is wonderful engineering and pleasing to look at, quite keen to use in some way.
Experimenting with 3d -
hot glue gun on to plastic laminating pouch - unfortunately, glue came out in different thicknesses, so I'm reluctant to peel the resulting swirls off the plastic sheet in case they fall apart. Probably improve with practice.
Enjoyable to do - interesting result.
Artstraws - weaving, very effective result and satisfying to do - will definitely explore this method further and bear it in mind for the project.
This is the winner of a competition for ideas to re-imagine the disused Mail Rail tunnel under London’s Oxford Street. The winner was international designers Fletcher Priest. The proposal is to transforms the underground rail system into a mushroom garden, dimly illuminated by a series of oculi that filters in light through street-level glass-fibre sculptures.
Very mystical, other-wordly looking with the lighting accentuating small snippets of detail. Makes a feature of nature reclaiming abandoned sites.
Geatano Pesce Italian architect and designer has created a series of six 'waterscape tables' inspired by aerial views of bodies of water.
Celebrating the beauty of water and ranging from oceans to puddles - each table is unique in its shape, colour and surface. They feature removable details of landscape such a cliffs, piers or trees - all in proportion to the aerial view.
Striking and unusual - like having the calming effect of water without the trickling sound.
