Form exploration II
Fiona x Shanelle

Last week,

Feedback gathered last week:

• Scales are way too small and doesn’t resemble how Pangolin scales are arranged. Scale it up and arrange it to look more like a Pangolin, not a fish.
• Bench/tail area is way too flat, redesign it such that it has more volume.
• Modules does not necessarily needs to vary in size/fully overlap, having a bit of gap is fine.

So this week we are looking at:

• Refining the overall form of the pangolin (especially the seating area)
• Scaling up the scales of the Pangolin to the right scale
• Working on the hierarchical arrangement of the scales similar to a Pangolin’s
• Redefining the size of the entire sculpture

Refining the overall form

“The complex, hierarchical structure of Pangolin’s scale makes it hard for cracks to propagate after an impact.”
