Assignment :
Students will design a freestanding clock that can be displayed on a 6”x 8” surface. Based on a descriptive adjective assigned in class, students will develop forms through sketches and physical models in order to explore descriptive volumes and surfaces. After a single concept is selected, it will then be further refined towards the final design through iterative models. The final deliverable of this project will be a full-scale appearance model fabricated to be “photo-ready” accompanied by a 150 word description of the solution.
Objectives :
Distilling abstract themes and attributes into forms.
Balancing character of form with ergonomic considerations.
Iteration of design concepts to yield refinement through evolution.
Developing a realistic, physical appearance model.
