As part of the 2019 London Design Festival, Paul Cocksedge’s ‘Please Be Seated’ has taken over Finsbury Avenue Square in the city’s Broadgate neighborhood. The undulating sculpture is comprised of concentric wooden circles that ribbon up and down to create functional spaces to socialize, rest, and walk through. Cocksedge collaborated with White & White to fabricate the massive steel and upcycled scaffolding wood installation, which the designer described as “walk[ing] the line between a craft object and a design solution.

Drawing inspiration from sinuous lines found in nature, Mari-Ruth Oda’s sculptures instil a sense of calm and fluidity in the eye of the beholder. Her sculptures are light, airy and curvaceous, reminding me of other-worldly and ephemeral shapes found only in our dreams or in our thoughts. At a glance, these sculptures look like wisps

In Latin, the word “unda” is used to describe water, specifically ripples, waves or a body of flowing water. Water’s ever changing quality parallels that of the human spirit. Calm and fierce, flowing and stagnant. In this way, the Unda Form resonates motion, encouraging a constant wave to undulate within. Part of the Origin Form Collection. 4.5”H x 10”W Handcrafted decorative object. Made from white porcelain with a hand sanded finish. Additional styles in the series: Being Form Holding Form Listening Form (Due to the handcrafted nature of the object, please expect variations).
Au début du XXe siècle, l’architecte Louis Sullivan annonçait une devise qui devait passer la postérité : « Form follows function » (la forme suit la fonction).

Here are a few sheets outlining the process and results for the homework this week. I put these together so you could keep track of how to put together compound curved forms and how to construct and evolve the angular/positional/flat plane forms with the rounded/organic/compound/"bubbly" volumes. I also included 3 pages of diagrams on with the ellipses and "jagged angle" section of the homework. If you follow the diagrams that further explains the compound form process we started in class. It takes you through the steps that lead to the finished products/objects/goofy forms and final designed pages. Now remember the idea is to really understand the idea of using a combination of angular and undulating, curving, cross contour line to explore and define the illusion of form in space. So make sure you don’t make it overly complicated as you sketch out your designs but also challenge your self to up and improve your own learning curve in drawing them. Frankly a big part of this is increasing your own person critical thinking and designing curves. I know that as I was sketching and imagining these various steps I spent a long time just lightly sketching, blocking out contours and perimeters of the shapes and forms. Once satisfied that I had gotten the idea of what I was designing I then forged on and added extra components/pieces/bubbles/tangential/stretched and blown up forms to completion. Its important to keep the simplicity of interlocking all these forms so you have control of the designing. Especially exploring and understanding the reason for getting a handle on the cross-contour as part of the process is that each one of these pieces of homework are interconnected. Its something you just cant scribble around on and say it looks dynamic. We will be moving from simple line quality, singular forms, complex rounded/angular volumes then into progress into cross-sections, texture, light and shadow...a of course applying all of those skills to field sketching and homework research. Its an end game strategy....tactical, small exercises & process in the short run - strategic, learning the answers of the drawing/design universe in the long run. These are the last two pages of the assignment. It’s the process on how to combine angular forms with rounded, organic forms and the "final" look of the combinations on a designed page. You could also bend the assignment more to simple architectural forms with organic/bubbly forms attached. I think that is a great idea if that is closer to getting the job done and making it understandable. I worked a little over an hour on both of these, went through a couple of colored pencil and erased a lot to get everything to work in space and coherently.
