SKETCH MODELLING WITH FOAM

Yorkshire Diamond Pavilion

The pattern of this mobile Pavilion is derived from the atomic structure of diamonds. It is made out of inflatable tubes which are placed in a diamond grid. The concept behind this design was to give the impression of the reminiscent coalmines of Yorkshire. The inflatable tubes give this Pavilion flexibility which allows it to be used for both small and large conferences. The structure is built in a way that gives it natural light and ventilation. This makes it the right place to accomodate events. The diamond pavilion has a special feature, it could turn inside out becoming a great mobile venue for concerts.

The Poland Pavilion

The Poland Pavilion was the winner of the Expo competition amongst 20 countries. This Pavilion is a reflection of creativity and imagination in Poland. The shape of the Pavilion is derived from a folded paper box and inspired from Polands folk art and paper cut outs. The effect that was created to symbolize this inspiration created a beautiful effect. Laser cutting was used to cut the floral pattern which sunlight shines through beautifully in the day whilst in the evening a light outside the pavilion penetrates through the lasered pattern whilst changing colour. The exhibition area is spacious making it creative and flexible. This allows the pavilion to be divided into several sections for small expositions, concerts and shops.

Eureka Times Pavilion

Landscape architect, Marcus Barnett created this cube Pavilion for the Times of Eureka garden in 2011. The aim of this project was to build a Pavilion for the garden reflecting and focusing on the Times monthly science magazine, Eureka. The structure therefore was inspired from the structural form of a leaf. After looking closely at the cellular structure of plants and their growth process he focused on the capillaries of leaves and built the structure in the same manner. The aim of this pavilion in the garden was to allow visitors to experience the patterns and biological structure at an unfamiliar scale whilst coming together with nature.

FLORAL MOTIFS

For Unit 4 - 3D Techniques and Processes we had to research and observe the design and manufacturing processes of a number of products. The product which appealed to me the most was the Wall Feature. I was inspired by floral motifs and hollow spaces. I chose to work with transparent acrylic since i had never worked with the material before and it was completely different to the materials available in the school workshops.

Acrylic is a strong plastic which resists weathering. Its effect is similar to that of glass but it is less susceptible to breakage and it also easy to clean. I used techniques such as engraving and lasering. I framed the acrylic and backed it with black mount board whilst placing LED strips in between the acrylic and the mount board. A wire and transformer were attached to the LED strips making my wall feature functional. 

Redesigning the Lamp!

This lamp was designed for Unit 1 - Drawing Techniques and Approaches. The final task was to redesign a functional object in an innovative way using unusual materials. 

 I decided to redesign the lamp using plastic bowls for the base and feathers for the lampshade. The plastic bowls were drilled in the middle and the wire was passed through making the lamp functional. I decided to use bright bold colours to fit in perfectly with a bright colourful vibrant bedroom. 

Zodiac Stone Sculpture

I designed this stone sculpture during my first year at MCAST. The task was to create an abstract of the zodiac signs in our specialized workshop at the institute.

The process consisted of the amalgamation of the zodiac symbols followed by the sculpting of the design into stone. Techniques such as chiseling, filing, drilling and sanding were applied.
