Autonomous Project

For this project, it was completely up to us to decide what our final project would be as long as we showed our process as a designer. I decide to explore woodturning some more. At the beginning of the semester, I made a small wood bowl and really enjoyed working with the lathe. For the final presentation, I showed the process of making a wooden bowl along with my process as a designer which included research, sketches, and precedent images. I really enjoy working with the lathe. You never truly know how what the final outcome may be. There may be a happy accident along the way that might change your whole design for the bowl. I look forward to continue working with the lathe and see what other bowls I will make.

Window Installment

The Cathedral of Christ the Light

This was my inspiration for my window installment. I liked the idea of looking into the space and then it coming it out at you. It has a dramatic way of playing with the light with simplicity.

I wanted the window to have some sort of depth. I did this by folding the cardboard and folding the vellum paper out. I decided not to cut cardboard slats down the whole side of each panel for a bit of privacy as well as to balance the circle on top. A lot of people said it looked like saloon doors which is ironic considering my inspiration was a cathedral. I wanted the window to have a dramatic effect without being too overwhelming. To relate to the neighboring windows, I incorporated the triangular flaps as well as the circular shape.
