In order to define what shape will work for my Pop-Up, I experimented using paper to create different forms which would replicate a nesting organic shape. With the material removed, paper was a very malleable tool to capture the structure and shape without being too flimsy. I think paper is a great tool to explore …

Exploring forms
In order to define the shape for my pop-up, I wanted to experiment using different mediums to capture the ‘nest’ shape and structure. Bamboo appears as an adaptable and renewable resource that may be used to create gorgeous organic shapes in the construction of a bird observatory in the interest of environmentally friendly and organic …

It was very interesting to learn about the different ways in which objects are able to influence cultural values and how they coexist. The ways in which objects are …

What struck me about the Eden Project is the ability to hold a variety of Biomes within a greenhouse essentially made from inflatable plastic cells which are supported by steel frames. The incredible structure is home to the world’s largest indoor rainforest as well. …
Cornelia Parker Tate Britain
Parker’s work transforms the original forms of objects and materials using extreme force by crushing and exploding several different objects to create an altered, abstract object deterring it from its original shape. The way the original item is evolved in but still contains its original matter seems to me a reminder of the processes and …
