Model Making for Architecture Short Course Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Context For many years I have wanted to make architectural models due to the beauty of their complexity. ​ I finally had the opportunity to fulfil this dream by studying a short course at ual at their Central Saint Martin's College. ​ Each day consisted of a lecture, model making then presenting to the class. Façade Model The exercise was to make us think about the process of building construction. First the core structure and any support is built, then embellishments like windows and cladding are added later. Day 1 - 1:50 Detail Model My aim for the day was precision and simplification. Each step had a 5mm tread depth, so I used one piece of scored and folded paper (combined with cardboard, celled polypropylene and dowel) which resulted in a stable set of steps. Day 2 - 1:50 Topographical Model - 1 The exercise was to construct the local context that a building would sit. ​ A contour map was used as a template. Each contour line represents a 1 metre change in height, so each layer at this scale was 10mm tall. ​ I wanted this model to be structurally strong, so cut cardboard 'against the grain' and created support structures between every layer. Day 3 - 1:100 Topographical Model - 2 The exercise was to build an even larger section of the context to show how a building complex would come together. ​ The geometry of the landscape was intricate, so I wanted to find a presentation technique that minimised material usage. ​ I achieve this by only cutting horizontal layers where buildings sat on the cliff, then formulating the cross section vertically. Day 4 - 1:500 Summary I really enjoyed this short course because I got stuck in, was focused and felt a sense of achievement by the end of each day. ​ My learning outcomes include: ​ Ability to choose the appropriate scale depending on message to communicate. Material choice and construction techniques for a model. Reading different types of drawing. Providing summaries of process to a small group. ​ See here for the e-certificate.

Silver Lining Design a Lamp for children for using in the home. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Research I wanted to use Hanging Mobiles as inspiration, which led to the work of Michael Anastassiades. His designs have a weightlessness, which I wanted to apply to my work. ​ Often Clouds are used to decorate Children’s rooms, which is the inspiration for the theme, while the raindrops were included for a playful interaction. Development Developments focused around the Cloud’s, the Raindrops’ and Arch’s form. Even though the design moved away from Anastassiades’ style, the Rainbow was key to having a more child-friendly aesthetic. ​ To increase user interaction, a physical mechanism was added to change the colour of the light. The favoured design was to have a rotating layer in the base with different colour lenses, which was tested through Foam and Card Modelling. Evaluation If I were to do this project again, I would want to reduce the thickness of the base and find a more effective way for the layers to rotate. However, I think the product does well to bring some fun to a space. Design Tags: Lighting | CAD | Card and Foam Modelling Implement The project involved making a working prototype. Therefore each part was modelled in SolidWorks. Dimension and GA drawings were generated, as well as a Bill of Materials. Manufacturing processes included 3D printing, soldering, lasercutting, as well as manual processes.

Tierra Candles The brief set, by Oliver Bonas, is to use natural materials as inspiration for a range of candles. Looking for simplicity and earthy tones, the set was to help take a break and be present. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Project Overview One of the places that I feel closest to nature is in Italy. The warmth from the sun, landscape and colours felt perfect for the brief. ​ After recalling familiar textures and materials, I used Adobe Photoshop to build up the colour blocks. Once completed, the names combined the pattern with calming scenes. ​ The patterns provide a peaceful, connected, modern feel inspired by a place with a lot of history. If I were to do it again, I would look at developing the candle holder to add further texture and interest when the candle was lit. Design Tags: Concept | Packaging | CAD

TAKI Design a product that is in collaboration with Lightly Technologies' Hikari SQ. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Project Overview The name TAKI and this design comes from the Japanese inspiration of Hokusai’s Waterfall Paintings. By looking at the forms used in his paintings, I generated a modern version to meet the contemporary Lightly Technologies brand. ​ With the thinness of the Hikari SQ, the base of the light could be much slimmer than traditional wall lighting. As a result, the piece has a floating affect. Feedback from the Client included that it was “well illustrated” and a “very marketable story”. Design Tags: Lighting | CAD

Designer's Block Design a product that aids school students during their education. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Motivation During my time at school, I noticed that students were struggling to articulate or see their designs in a 3D space. Therefore, I wanted to design a kit that made models look professional, and give the chance for users to rapidly experiment before committing to a design. Research Research consisted of looking at current methods of prototyping. A popular choice is Lego. Their success lies in the temporary, reusable and simple connecting system. ​ Therefore, development was based on using components that replicate commonly used mechanisms or forms, with processes that are quick and mess free. Development Every component was individually developed through Foam and Card Modelling to maximise its performance. Testing The components were also tested together to see if they could model a design with a clean finish. Evaluation If I were to do the project differently, I would aim to reduce the weight and overall size of the product to make it more portable. Otherwise, I was pleased with user involvement in the project and maximisation of performance. Design Tags: CAD | Card and Foam Modelling | Prototyping Main Product Each aspect of the casing was considered in how it could support in an educational context. The boxes had different corner joints, were made from the three primary materials you are taught at school, and more so can be used as a visual prompt in lessons. ​ A prototype was manufactured with the aid of 3D printing or Jigs for repeated parts. ​ The parts include magnets, so you can reuse connections. You can also involve pencils, so you are not restricted to the kit. Supporting Product The instruction guide with accompanying Powerpoint presentations and lesson plans helps the user explore possibilities and teach pupils the key topics in the DT curriculum.

saywhen. Design a product that resolves something that bugs you, and then develop many brand aspects revolving around the product. Home Portfolio CV Contact Search More Motivation As a Diabetic, the advice is to weigh out your food so you can calculate the amount of Carbohydrates. However, depending on the size of the bowl, it can appear a tiny portion. Brand Language The target user group was considered on many levels, including their wants and the intended emotion to evoke. ​ The Brand Statement included "Individuality, Energy and Commitment". Each bowl is unique to the customer. With personalisation in the text, and the adjustable zip, customers can get the perfect portion for them. ​ With bold, youthful branding, the customer will feel energised for the day. While good customer service and a jovial staff ethos in the stores will always make customer’s feel welcome. ​ The promise is to provide fully functioning products that last. If the customer is not satisfied with their product, saywhen. will do our best to resolve the issue and learn for the future. Evaluation Since the project, I felt the packaging could have better considered the form of the product. Therefore I used cylindrical Cardboard packaging which has greater links to the pattern and details to match. ​ Also, I could have pushed the visual language even further with bolder choices of pattern or colour scheme. Design Tags: Branding | Graphics | Packaging | CAD | Card Modelling Implement Having produced all the necessary elements, I produced a Brand Book with all the do’s and don’ts. Then by using my Retail experience, I designed Planograms and Shop Fronts to best display the product. Core Product Therefore, I designed a bowl that adapted to your portion size by having a zip that ran round the side. This is a purely fictional product, and the majority of the task was in relation to the Branding and CAD Rendering. Visual Language Rather than going down the traditional medical aesthetic of a clinical, blue and white brand, I was keen to bring a youthful, energetic feeling. For patterns and overall brand aesthetic, I took inspiration from current Sports Wear trends, as well as modern Homeware brands such as Bornn. In terms of the colour scheme, I researched the meanings related to colour.
