Blog 4


This is a design exploration of fluid form. It is made of sheets of PET clear plastic which asks the viewing audience questions when its being looked at, the artist chose this material because of the cleanliness shape endures. The artist has also not spoiled the looked of a clean model with thread or any other thin substance because he believes that.

The underlying form of this well crafted model is the multiple triangle shapes that have been incorporated in this model, triangles are a very neo-classiscal shape because of the strength of the form. This characteristic was very popular with ancient architects. A triangle is a strong shape because of its rigid form. To an architect, that means this form won't collapse of its own weight and that it can hold up more weight swell.(http://www.thefreelibrary.com). 

One last metal rod protrudes from the centre of this form locking everything together and creating stability between the two sections. The forms interlocking top half show working in the fluid precedent as how they overlap itself, and the pyramid forms in the model use the 2nd precedent well.
