CONCEPT
Both these themes evoke a sense of conflict and hence I decided to name my models after historic battles – Siege of Stalingrad, the Invasion of Normandy and Battle of Waterloo.
TECHNIQUE
Use of piercing and wedging to reinforce this idea of discordance and conflict within the models.
Initial MODELS
1-SIEGE OF STALINGRAD
Issues to be addressed : Width of SO too similar to Length of D, Presence of D and SD slightly conflicting, overall form too static to display Discordance, 1/3 ratio not potentialised fully.
2-INVASION OF NORMANDY
Issues to be addressed: Length of SO and Width of D almost the same, 1/3 ratio not potentialised fully, use of cuboids throughout need to be adjusted to avoid lack of dynamism.
3-BATTLE OF WATERLOO
Issues to be addressed: SO too thin and is hidden from some view points apart from the ones shown. Model also seemed very similar when compared with Model 1. Hence I decided to focus on the previous two models for further exploration.
Final Sketch Models
1-SIEGE OF STALINGRAD
Changes :
- SO is thinned down drastically from its initial width into a long toothpick.
- SO is also pierced through both the SD and D diagonally to convey emphasised Discordance instead of simply being wedged.
- 1/3 ration enforced as much as possible without compromising concept
2 – INVASION OF NORMANDY
Changes :
- Height of SO decreased to compensate for its width’s similarity to Length of D
- SD’s Length is increased while it is thinned and pierced through D
- SO is wedged into SD with a gap that acts a void instead of being flushed all the way in
