For our first assignment students were asked to develop a set of patterns.
Scaled Iterations – Experimenting with scale. Finding the the proper proportions to make the next set of iterations.
First Iteration – Use of circles and a weaving as a pattern, that became a cube that expresses the pattern on every side. inspiration came from a game called “Loop”:
Second Iteration – Use of a hexagonal form with a thin frame. Multiple laser cut patterns of this type can create a screen or larger three dimensional object depending on its configuration. My inspiration came from this Japanese fabric design:
Third Iteration – For this iteration I thought of combining the ideas from my first two iterations. Using the idea of a pattern that can be symmetrical or asymmetrical and could be used as a panel or structural design. This idea looks similar to Frank Lloyd Wright’s, Ennis House: http://ennishouse.com/gallery/
