form exploration

This is a paper on form exploration. some of the things...specially visuals are interesting as they are visual representations of what we call "iterations" and it also talks about a few ways one can explore form.

Although when i started my form exploration, it didnt hit my mind initially that what i was working with i.e. weaves and interesting in themselves, and a simple form might help the user explore the fascinating effects of the weaves and light as opposed to only the over all form.

Adaptation-2

This is a brief charting of how processes need to be changed around according to the context. here i have differentiated the nokia process from the current one.

"Material"-istic

As i go on with my project, i continue to discover how one, as a designer, should be able to adapt to situations. each project, brings in a new range of possibilities, probabilities and problems. it is so essential to evaluate and understand these.

after doing a fair amount of research, when i started my ideation, i started off with form explorations. but as i went on i realized how, as a new-age designer, my thoughts are influenced by the way plastics work. minute flanges, complicated forms etc. started reflecting in my sketches. but then when i looked back at it, i understood that it was a completely different set of materials that my drawings were reflecting.

the beauty of bamboo is the intricate weaves, the varying thicknesses and colour of each strip, the beauty of the "the difference" which i didn't account for. hence, i decided to go back and look into basketry!
