final hollow form project post!!!!!

WE ARE SO BACK! this is the updated blog post. a lot of It will be similar but just with my updated/final forms. 

MY ORIGINAL 6 CONCEPTS

MY CONCEPTS THAT I MADE AFTER YOU TOLD US TO MAKE MORE AND THEN TO COMBINE THEM

 three concepts of mine I liked and would like to develop and include in this hybrid project

1.

2.

3.

OBJECT 1 

how does it function?

- I think it would function really cool to print multiple of them embedded into each other so they're printed as a chain

what are the aesthetic qualities of this piece

- the curvature and fluidity of the piece. I think there's also a very interesting "leading line" sort of thing going on. it brings your eyes around the piece almost infinitely 

is the object self supporting?

- no unfortunately. I think because of the twist in the middle it would need supports which makes it unusable for this assignment sadly. but something I still like

is this ready to print?

- I think it is. obviously not for this project because its not self supporting but I put it through prusa and aside from it needing supports it looks like a straight forward print

OBJECT 2

how does it function?

- on a very large scale (obvi not this project) I think it would be neat to be a plant stand. obviously this needs to fit on a 4x4x6 inch box, but could possibly be used as a small print to see the larger project printed on a smaller scale

what are the aesthetic qualities of this piece

- the smooth curves and the "bleeding" of the steps into the main part of the form makes it easy on the eyes. also the middle kinda reminds me of a pill? that would be neat to expand on that idea using color, type etc

is the object self supporting?

- it should be. I capped the bottom and all the steps fillet into the centre so it should be an easy print without supports

is this ready to print?

- I believe so. this is the concept ive taken the most time developing and just after looking at it in rhino its ready to go!

OBJECT 3

how does it function?

- I see it as a plant holder. you'd print a matching pot that fits perfectly into the twists, and a matching catch plate for water down below.

what are the aesthetic qualities of this piece

- the symmetry and mirrors. again the curving of piece brings your eyes around it 

is the object self supporting?

- it should be? haven't put through prusa but it all works in my brain 

is this ready to print?

- possibly...

FINAL 2 CHOSEN PIECES

BRAINSTORM MUAHAHAHA

Similarities between the two I could use 

- hollow cylinders 

- harsh lines

- curves

- negative space 

THINGS WE COULD UTILIZE FROM THE FIRST

- simplicity

- curves

- thickness

- single printed 

 - curves

THINGS WE COULD UTILIZE FROM THE SECOND ROUND OF OBJECTS 

- use of multiple "bases" and supporting forms 

- use of repetition 

- twists

SKETCHESSSSSS

NOT A DRAWING MAJOR !!!!!

I went with number 6! 

FINAL RENDER (Gurleen and I did in class)

PRUSA RENDER

this combines both my concepts as it uses twists, reflections and repetitions of shapes, it also uses the original shape, but the shape is now stretched, twisted, multiplied and reflected to create my final shape

It is off to print now yay
