Unity Parti
Process
The moment new projects are assigned, a rush of ideas fill your head. The word unity describes a relationship. In this project, using only 12 skewers and 12 4''x6'' bristol board, the goal was to find a bond between each material creating unity. The cluster of my ideas formed both bridges and barriers effecting my design positively or negatively. My first thought was based on the idea of stairs. The idea of stairs inspired certain shapes. I focused on a triangular shape. Using the 12 planes of bristol board, I experimented with an assortment of folding techniques. Folding the planes of bristol board into 5 parts, developed a 3 dimensional triangular shape. When layered one on top of the other, the triangular shapes formed a design similar to roman curtains. The design concept developed once the 12 skewer's were added. In the first rendition of my design, the skewer's were placed horizontally through the negative space of the triangles. By slightly bending each of the skewers, the structure developed a sense of movement. In the final rendition, 11 skewers were slightly bent, leaving one skewer straight, defining the center of the structure. From all angles, the design of this structure creates movement while remaining simple.
