Ex. 2 Concepts of Alisa Andrasek and Frei Otto







Ex. 2 Axonometric Set 1



Alisa 1 : "No definitive boundary alows shape to become fluid"
Random shape


Frei 1: "Minimising structural support allows nature to shape the form"
This will reply on the placement on the landscape.



Ex. 2 Axonometric Set 2





Alisa 2 : "Attraction and repulsion can create dynamic forms"
Different direction faced extrusion.


Frei 2: "Form and struction as one"
Experimenting with organic form that leaves little marks on the earth.


Ex. 2 Axonometric Set 3


Alisa 3: This axo repeats her concept of repeating/ rotating and flip, using same base shape this can also be attached to another one with the same shape.


Frei 3 : Attempt at following the concept of "empty space are non-essential", was trying to shape it so it resembles the film which forms bubble. 



Ex. 2 Axonometric Set 4

After reviewing the first three sets of axonometric, I was disappointed with he result, so I made a forth set.




Alisa 4 : Follows the notion of flip/repeat, Mostly shaped to harmonies with Frei's shape.


Frei 4 : the aim of this one was to create a organic looking shape with a shell like surface to highlight the minimal curves.



Combined looks like a lamp

Ex. 2 Axonometric Set 5

After Making set 4, I felt like it would be improved, so I redesigned Frei and Alisa Axos.


For Frei axo ( top row), I removed the block on the top and re shaped the foot piece and made it into a split, when the artisan tool is applied it had a organic look, also enhance the overall curve which resembles slightly to minimal surface.



For Alisa Axo ( bottom row), I redesigned the little box and made it into an fence looking shape, which I later on copied it into a circular formation, with this modification, it further highlight the style of work Alisa did with most of her creations, which is creating complex networks using interesting single base shape.



Ex. 2 Digital Axonomentrics

   The following are step to step process of combining the amalgamations together, I did 5 sets because I wasn't satisfied with the first three sets, which led to the fourth set, and the fifth set further improves the fourth set.
