serpentine
 
 


still in the 3D spatial rotation. some research on modular design reminded me of the above video. a few classmates and i visited jean nouvel's impressive pavillion at the serpentine. unfortunately for us, we visited it on a rainy day so we couldn't experience the pavillion to its fullest (sheltered from the rain instead of playing ping pong on the grass!)




after being asked to cram a clear plastic bag with the following list of materials ... 9 cm of electrical tape, 9 clips/paper/hair, 9 fragment from map installation, 9 pins (dress making), 9 cocktail sticks, 9 pieces of paper, 9 photos of gap/edges etc, 9x9cm sqaured of newspaper, 9 disposals, 9 elastoplasts, 9 cm sq of gray card, and 9 rubbber bands, we had to look back at our repetitive shapes and forms identified in our drawings, and translate them into 3D forms using the materials listed.



this then lead to our final brief. using the photographs/drawing/3D structures as a starting point, we had to produce a series of multiples of this shape and form depending on the complexity of the structure. we had to design outcomes and produce sketch models to create a ... structure to walk through (not a building), structure to support the human body (not a chair), and a structure to contain  a small object (not a box).
