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.

   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.

Ex.2 Preliminary Choice

  Before the final submission I felt my first design(right figure) could be improved.
   I ended up doing another design for the blocky anxo, which imitates
what Alisa Andrasek did with her works. (image below) The idea was using
an amalgamation to create a form which is than attached onto the curvy
amalgamation. Final form left figure (image above).
