Manifesto

As we are all designers, we all have contrasting views and perceptions of what makes a good or bad design. One element which links us all together are the stages of the design process through which exploring possibilities and constraints focuses our critical thinking and research towards a common objective.

Through this project we are forming an interactive design that will engage art, nature, people and place on a day-to-day basis. Our project will illustrate how different forms of a membrane structure, grid shells, origami and biology are composed together in a symbiotic relationship to form a sustainable concept.

Our plan / convention will address the physical and spatial parameters of our design with a thorough understanding of its role in our environment and its potential to function as a living space. The site we have chosen to implement our design is the spiritual center, which has a strong focus on nature and raw materials. Our plan / convention will draw elements from these and inform how our concept will develop.

Crochet: My Work In Wire




I have experimented with crocheting in wire and here are some of the results.  I used silver beading wire and a number 5 crochet hook.  One of the maquettes is crocheted in the round, this was the first one completed.  The next maquette is crocheted flat as is the third one but it also has small glass beads crocheted into it.  These maquettes were completed with 28-gauge wire, which is easily manipulated when working but strong enough to hold its sculpted shape once made.  I am now experimenting with different gauges and types of wire and will see where that leads…!
