For this assignment, we are tasked to make 2 sound compositions and translate them into sketch models, base on the sounds’ quality and characteristics. I personally am very intrigue by what we are doing since we are translating invisible and intangible sounds to tangible models. This is the first time that I’m doing something like this so I’m excited! On… Read more →
Definition Dictionary’s definition: The use of individually distinct functional units, as in assembling an electronic or mechanical system. In design’s context, modularity design is an approach that subdivides a system into smaller parts called modules or skids, that can be independently created and then used in different systems. Examples Nature: The first thing that comes to my mind when I think of modular… Read more →
Overview Through this project, we’ve learned about how scent is closely linked to our memory. This isn’t the first time that I’m introduced to this concept. When I was doing my Final Year Project in polytechnic, my teacher also mentioned about how our senses trigger memory and certain reactions. He mentioned that surprisingly, out of all our senses, our sense… Read more →
Read more about my chosen good and bad scents here. Research For this class activity, we are tasked to make a sculpture that reflects the good and bad scents that we have chosen. The shapes of the two scents must be distinct and they are to be interwoven together in the sculpture. Here are some examples where the… Read more →
Good Scents Siang Pure Oil Ointment (scent that I love): My grandma gave me this particular bottle of ointment just so that I can bring it to hall. I believe that ointment is every elderly’s best friend (perhaps this is the reason why people associate them with elderly people). Have a headache? Apply the ointment. Have a insect bite? Apply… Read more →
Understanding Planes Better jumping straight into executing the models, I applied my understanding of planes through some sketches and paper folding. Practice sketches: Different planes: Model 1 This time round, I wanted to be intentional with the measurements instead of simply cutting an random strip and going with the flow from there. I decided to follow the… Read more →
Overview Ikenana? Ikebanana? Ikebana? For this project, I’m excited to learn about the art of ikebana and explore ways that I can incorporate curvilinear volumes, food and industrial objects into it, all according to a season! Once again, this will be a content-heavy entry since I will be compiling all my research and processes into it. Here’s the entry… Read more →
I wasn’t satisfied with the previous sketch models that I made so here’s the remake! Sketch Model 1: 2D Sketch Analysis Hierarchy: D is cone, SD is sphere, SO is cylinder Joining techniques: Wedging and piercing Dynamic composition: Dependent Sketch Model 2: 2D Sketch Analysis: I realised that the cone and sphere have the same… Read more →
Week 5’s lesson When I first heard that we are going to explore curvilinear volumes for this assignment, my mind simply went blank. Straight lines are difficult enough for me, and now I have to work with curves? This is going to be a huge challenge… Anyway, we learned how to sculpt curvilinear volumes such as the sphere, cylinder, and… Read more →
Back at it again with Pandora’s Box! This will be the final post of this project, so buckle your seatbelts and join me on this ride. The content that I will be covering in this post are as follows: 2 mock models Refinement of selected mock model Production process Final model 2 applications Conclusion Part 1: 2 Mock Models… Read more →
