The Interval project has given us the scope now to take a break from all the architectural ideas we have to consider when designing and we now have the freedom to design for something on a much smaller scale with the opportunity to build it. It provided an opportunity to play with form and light on a more accessible scale with responsibility and design focus limited to a much smaller spectrum of events. I have decided to make a lamp/ table that will reside in the lounge areas of the building (eg. staff lounge/ common room).
Ideas for the form of the Interval project have been driven by the facade of the building. The curves seen on the Clare St facade that were driven by prominent streamlining seen in many industrial design projects, might feature in my design. I'm hoping to incorporate a lamp or lighting system with a stand that also holds books or is able to provide a stand for other items.
I am also wanting to carry on with my ideas of repetition and the idea of modules - having one particular shape and creating a pattern through rotation and manipulation of it. In the sketches above, I've begun experimenting again and hope to carry this idea through the form of the model.
At the moment I'm considering using the pattern on the faces of solid square-like segments through a fabric or material that is semi-transparent and that will allow the light to filter through. I might start to think of actually using a shape in a pattern or manipulate it to form the actual structure of the model.
