This model is constructed from polypropylene plastic and some braid
thread weaved throughout it. It has incorporated the idea of a curved and
straight line in its construction with having staggering bits of polypropylene
being the straight line fanned out and curved to create a curvilinear look to
it. Ultimately the straight lines of the polypropylene layer to create the
curvilinear look rather than having anything curved put into the work. The
inspiration for this model came from 2 images; one being the Mineta San Jose
Airport building showing beautiful curves and layers of different parts of the
building and the other being an image of a staircase showing a nice angle of
layers and also repetition with staggering steps.
With the layers of polypropylene plastic on top of one another it
creates a beautiful but subtle looking pattern and effect only as light is cast
over it showing nice detail along with the curvilinear form it is in. The quote “Good design is obvious, Great design is
transparent”[1] reinforces how
the subtle design and pattern created by this light is a strong point and it
being very subtle makes it stand out when light is cast. Another fine detail
that is effective is the way the model is held together by the thin braid
thread ultimately creates the curve in the model as well. This model has
captured the essence of straight and curved lines and the fine detail like the
transparency pattern are subtle yet effective.
