Organic shapes prove to be the way forward

Now a days it seems like if a design isn't 'outrageous', it is boring.


No one likes looking at the same design twice, we want variety.


The thing is, HOW do we design for the future, ensuring that our designs are innovating and inspirational!? HOW do we know our design is the first of its kind!?


-the idea is to think OUTSIDE of the box. 


With this thought in mind, I had a go at designing a few shapes that could be used in public spaces, either within interior spaces or exterior spaces....




IDEA ONE:
sketch of my initial organic shape

a rendered image of my initial organic shape


When creating this particular shape, my aim was to create an abstract piece of art that could be placed in an art gallery,  a museum or perhaps in the reception of an open planed art college...

The idea is that the piece could be used as a water feature.  Water would slowly fall down through the organic shapes, and into the circular tank...


IDEA: TWO

sketch of the 'enclosing space'
rendered image (1) of the 'enclosing space'
rendered image (2) of the 'enclosing space'

This particular design was initially designed as part of an 'enclosed reading space'.  It could be placed in a library, or perhaps in a public space.  


My design aims to create a safe and comfortable place to read, or to study.  The space can be occupied individually, or as a group.
