Cloud Diagram 1:

I was inspired by it because I like the art style.

Tall cloud:

I was inspired by this because I felt the perspective was unique, it look like a building towering over me.

Bubble Building:

The bubble building were shown to us in class and I feel it ties into the cloud building as well. Because clouds produce water

Project Statement



I am going to recreate images of clouds with no information as to how to design it. I will be making 3d structures out wood. This will push both my ability to problem-solve and design. I hope to apply this concept in the future.

Thesis Statement

Write one paragraph for your thesis statement that answers 3 questions

1- Hook: What is the problem you are trying to solve?(Provide context /background )

2- Impact: Why it's important?

3- Solution: How you are going to solve it? ( what is the concept of your project)

The goal was to make a puzzle box for anybody who wanted one. The user would have to find the intended way to open the box.

Thesis Statement

The average desk organizer is functional; some have some aesthetics but not the best of both worlds. Most desk organizers don't make you second guess how it works while still being somewhat functional. When your desk is messy and your table is boring it can make it hard to get stuff done. This project is designed to solve all your desk-related issues while still looking modern and unique. It emphasizes negative space and is minimal to make it feel like it's not even there. It uses tensegrity to achieve that, it is made out of 1/8th inch laser cut plywood to give it a nice finish, and has a large base for stability.

Precedents

Kurilpa Bridge

I wanted to capture how a tensegrity structure makes you think twice about how it is made

Modern Planter

I like how these modern planters emphasize negative space.

Tensegrity Structure

I want to capture how a tensegrity structure makes you think twice and I tried to use a lesser-known type of tensegrity structure so I decided to use a 3 Strut Structure.

Thesis Statement

I am going to provide houseless birds with stylish homes. This is important because birds should also have the right to live in nice, eye-appealing houses and not just humans. I am going to solve this issue by making an abstract birdhouse.

Key design elements

• Wood working
• Boston Skyline
• Lazer cut pieces

Thesis Statement

Walking around Central Square, the culture, personality and overall aesthetic of the town leaves a great impression on diffrent people for different reasons. My goal was to capture these reasons in a collage of different places around and in Central that made an impression on me!

 Keys:

• Colorful
• Personal

Modern Plant Pots

I like how this planter looks like a planter in a planter and emphasizes negative space. I think it gives an interesting effect

Parentesi 50 by Flos

I like the minimal and simplistic design of Flos's Parentesi 50 light.

Project Statement

I will use different mediums to make planters/desk organizers out of laser-cut plywood, exploring tensegrity. I will use these to help design the final products for my business.

Other Desk Organizers

I'm inspired to improve the common tiny yet expensive design, with only one purpose, this isn't functional

My Own (and other's) disorganized desk

I'm inspired to improve the designs as I've always wanted to organize my own table more comfortably. I'm also keeping in mind my parent's desks and how they refuse to use the one-use organizers

My passion for human usage psychology

I'm inspired to think deeper on human psychology of how things are used and how to make that comfortable

Project Statement

I want to make a customizable table organizer to get better at my sketching, woodworking, and laser cutting skills

Thesis Statement

This organizer design aims to de-clutter spaces and prevent overconsumption, as many organizer designs out in the market can't be re-purposed in case they're not being used, which can lead to waste and pollution. This organizer solves the problem with its simple design, with big spaces for different products, and movable parts for more flexibility. Its size and functionality cater to multiple types of products, ensuring a more sustainable and efficient use.
