Stage 2: Conceptual Design




Strength Through Curvature Exercise

In class we had to construct and object that showed curvature through the design. we decided on creating a structure using triangle designed bases with oval shaped sides that were perforated to allow for curved bends in the design.

We successfully created 3 structures in the given time, one being a quick mock-up prototype, then the second being and actual working model then the third was the same with the second with a few modifications to give the structure some extra support in withstanding weight and pressure through the center.

Research Part A: Investigating Lightweight Materials






Flinders Lane Walk (During Contemporary Design Excursion)


During my class excursion down Flinders Lane, i noticed a few cafe's with seating at the front. i took notice of their simplistic designs as well as there shapes and structure.

i only decided to take a few photos when i passed the third or fourth cafe, i also took some photos of the surfaces they were on
