ITs a reaction to the architecture itself(different ways to define it), the environment(surroundings), and the people.

TO me its an artistic interaction

SMART METER

"She says the meters are saving her money on lunchtime stops, because she reinserts her card when she's ready to leave and gets a refund for unused time.

"The nice thing is I don't have to carry change around in the car or in my purse," she says.

The meters — some of which also take coins — include solar-powered devices that take credit or debit cards, meters that can be paid by cellphone, and meters linked by wireless networks that can be remotely controlled and alert officers to parking violations, Vanderhoof says."

Andrea Morgante, founder of Shiro Studio, has collaborated with D-Shape to produce the Radiolaria pavilion, a complex, free-form structure produced using the world’s largest 3D printer. Measuring 3 x 3 x 3 metres, the structure is a scale model of a final 10-metre tall pavilion to be built in Pontedera, Italy, in 2010.

The pavilion is fabricatedfrom curved profiles that are nested on standard 13mm flat sheets and water cut. Once delivered to site the entire pavil¬ion can be constructed by hand.

Laser cut metal

Kona Residence by Belzberg Architects CNC

Rethinking

I ran into issues with the limitations of our laser cutter. For the Bed Backboard, I envisioned metal and the cutter can't cut metal (or ours can't cut metal). For the Lamp, The piece I would cut wouldn't be able to be done in one piece.

SO, on a compromise of the two I would like to do a light box. Using a piece of plexi, I will cut out a favorite lyric then create a box to put it in. Then create a light with in the box

Laser cutter Project

MY PROJECT:

2 Options: Backboard or a Lamp(floor)

Needs: (1) 2X4’s, 2X2’s, Plywood(or better backing option, and a metal sheet (option rope lighting edge + paint)

(2) a thin wood + Plexi or substitute + light kit

Uses: Laser cutter + Wood shop (router, saw, drill)

I would like to create something that is beautiful as well as something I can use in my life. Right now I’m leaning towards the backboard because it is something I need. What it will come down to is what can I afford.

Timeline: Illustrator file prepared March 28^th

This Week- Schedule Laser cutter time- Purchase supplies (if can get laser cutter time this week, then cut panels

Next week- Cut metal- 4^th-14^th cut and assemble Backboard or lamp

Movement through Layers

The first (3)layers I wanted to Create movement by use of shadow, opacity, and position change.

the 4th and 5th layer I wanted to appear intensely above the first 3 layers. I used edge accent to make it better pop. The 5th layer made more brighter then the 4th to appear above the 4th layer.

the 6th layer was used to be bright and above all layers, however, the intensity of the piece ruins the elegant simplicity of the piece and obvious movement.

I wish my imaging was more realistic or more obviously 3D

I would have stopped before I added the Last layer.

Controlled Serendipity

I ain’t got no car
And I've got one pair of jeans
They’ve been stretched too far
And now they’re weak at the seams
I can’t say what’s next
And I got nothin' up my sleeve
But I don’t lose my head
Cause it ain’t really up to me

And I’m doing just fine
I’m always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain’t gonna stress
Cause the worst ain’t happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity

I don’t ask for a lot
No nothing more than I need
Because I love what I got
Don’t need to play the lottery
I just want to be strong
At the end of the road
I don’t want to hold on
I want the strength to let go

And I’m doing just fine
I’m always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain’t gonna stress
Cause the worst ain’t happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity

Controlled serendipity in terms of this project-Is having a goal in mind, a plan, an idea. On the path to your final idea, you might get inspired or fall upon something that *works better* then your initial idea for the end. Its allowing a better result with the same idea or a branch off of the original idea.
