Week 14- Final Presentation

Final presentation slides:

Feedback gathered:

Fabrizio suggested that we do away with the weighted ‘floating’ elements on the petals; instead, he mentioned that we could attach the elements like what we did to the centre pieces, and let them sway when they catch the wind.

Douglas was also concern with the mechanism of the petals, which was our concern too as the moments for the pivot is indeed hard to measure and gauge.

Some post presentation fun shots:


LOL, congrats to both of us for making it to the end!

Special mention of this awesome group of classmates who help us for the model! Many many many thanks to them, really appreciate all your time, effort and helpfulness when we’re desperate 🙂


Pretty much how the whole process is like helping me, haha!


Fun shot cause why not? 

 

Week 13- Rendering, mock ups

Template for laser cut

Cutting centre support piece to hold stands together

Due to flimsy-ness of the centre piece, the additional floating elements with weights cannot be added on as as it is structurally heavy and cant hold up 🙁

Final outcome of model:

Renderings:

Had a few colour schemes in mind, but decided to tone it down to just NTU’s identity colours of dark blue and red for brand association and awareness.

Week 12-More refinements made to structure

Decided to explore more ways to improve the supporting structure, rather than just a straight pole down

Sketched some curves from our plants inspiration with can be used for the base

Sketches to rhino, but looks bulky and overpowering of the top elements after consulting Fabrizio

Then tried to reduce the curves and stagger it so that the structure is in sync with the top petals
