Moon A Witches’ Kitchen Frans II Francken

These painting are typical examples of witchcrafts that he produced in series. The iconography recalls the traditional conception of the witches oscillating between beauty and horror, sensuality and lust. In the kitchen scene witches are preparing a brew holding the most incredible ingredients. Three witches are praying to the devil, others get ready to undress and fly off on their broom.

Forest Table


Table Surface

Reflection surface For table surface, we want to focus on the reflection of lake in the night forest. To recreate this, we use primer on 12mm MDF first and then applied black gloss paint on it to create the black mirror surface, which can reflect the light.

Collecting leaves in Canterbury Turning to the leaves, we collect some real leaves from the woods in Canterbury, to create our own local forest for the supper club. Took a picture of all the leaves, draw the outline on AutoCAD and laser cut them.

The Leaves Material test for laser cut Testing three materials: paper, 180 gsm black card and 3mm MDF By testing them, I hanged all three kinds of laser cutting leaves outdoor in the wind. The black card and the MDF are too heavy, they broke easily. Turning to the paper, it is light and the sound of the paper leaves are similar to the real one, so we decided to use the paper .

Sir John Soane’s museum

The site is the corridor of Sir John Soane’s museum, with many sculptures and plaster casts around the dome. It’s a narrow site full of fragile antiquities. The visitors and walk around the corridor and look up or down through the void.

About the Site The Soane Museum is the house of Sir John Soane, one of the greatest English architects, who built and lived in it more than a century and a half ago. The Museum has been kept as it was at the time of his death nearly 180 years ago. It displays his collection of antiquities, furniture, sculptures, architectural models, paintings.

The Golden Light The golden light coming from the dome is the highlight of this site. Sir John Soane thinks yellow and golden lights make those plaster casts look more elegant, so he put some yellow glass to create the endless golden hour.



Collage of the site and idea of the project. A huge void in-between the space, the architect design different platform to enjoy the arts around the corridors. The interesting ingredient in the site are: plater cast and the golden lights from the dome.


Charchoob

Arash Shojaei

The Charchoob chair is a multifunctional furniture unit that tries to meet the different cultures while maintaining a simple form. The unique design allows you to use it as a dining room chair, an armchair or as an office chair.

Ideas and Case study G55 sling chair Michael Verheyden

Verheyden has periodically designed objects that speak more to the process of how an object is made using a certain material rather than being about the material itself. Details like stitching become of the utmost importance on a leather object or the edge sharpness on objects made from turned stone. The G55 sling chair is a case in point. Made from heavy duty hide draped across a tubular steel framework, the design is very much about the shape the sling makes within the zig-zag framework and the method of holding the leather there.


Ideas The ideas comes from hammocks, umpire chairs, and tent pole. 1. The sticks of hommock provide tensions to the fabric, hold the humans weight and maintain in curtain shapes. 2. The height of umpire chair 3. Foldable structure like tent pole, the strings in between make it easier and quicker to assemble the structure.

The device By creating different height in the corridor of Sir John Soane’s museum, users can not only reach the golden light from the dome, also enjoy the moment surround by the plaster cast and the art pieces.


Foldable structure The first prototype is made of straws, wires and paper towel. Put the wire in between the straw and the joint, connect the rectangle structure together. The joint is important for foldable structure. By making this prototype, 14 joint may needed in the structure.

How It Works 1. Take all the pipes first, assemble the two rectangle structure. 2. Take the fabric which has pipe in between 3. Use the pipe to connect two structure together 4. Here is the multifunction chair!


New Joint The structure keep twisting when I try to sit on the second prototype. For the next step, I try to make some joint fix it. I try laser cutting a small box of joint, cover the original one to make it stabler and stronger.

Contact with

Historic England Due to the virus, we can not visit Deal Castle by our self, so I called and emailed several places to get more information and drawings about Deal. Historic England kindly replied and gave us a lot of information. Most of the drawings are made by hand from 1920-1970. I tried to make them digital to continue our design.

History of Deal Castle Built by Henry VIII at a time when England seemed vulnerable to invasion, Deal Castle has watched over the Kentish coast for nearly 500 years. In 1639, the Battle of the Downs – a naval battle between the Spanish and the Dutch – took place in the English Channel in sight of Deal Castle. Several Spanish vessels were sunk and 2,000 sailors came ashore at Deal and Dover.

At the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, Deal remained a military and naval town and the castle continued as the captain’s residence. During the Second World War, the castle was brought back into service to guard the coast from German forces in the Channel. Deal Castle has a captain. In the past, the captain would maintain the castle and assist in the military administration in the area. In the 18th century, a house for the captain was built at the castle.

The Site:

Deal Castle About Deal It was a small fishing village and named a ‘limb port’ of the Cinque Ports in 1278. Busiest port in England now. Deal started to flourish in the mid-17th century. In the age of sailing ships, the sheltered Deal coast was a haven. At times, hundreds of ships anchored off the coast bringing business and prosperity to the area. Today it is a seaside resort, its quaint streets and houses are a reminder of its history along with many ancient buildings and monuments.

A migration world map describe different movement between countries.


Migration,Trade and War.

Global movements are invisible. Nevertheless, the results of migration are becoming apparent in many countries in different parts of the world. People are currently observing the highest level of global movement in history and the subsequent identity crises from that. Human beings have expanded the range over the entire planet, from the origin of the history until today. Our vision is to pay a tribute to immigrant lives. To those who have come from far, crossing and battling the waves of the rough sea in hopes of a better life. The Deal Castle has been built and rebuilt several times over the years, but the hardest hit of destruction was when part of it was bombed as a result of war. This led to drastic loss of not just part of the castle but important lives. Immigrant lives.

The story of:

Migration

Migrants and local community

The most crucial part of the process was to gain clarity on one theme. We first started by thinking about our topic “culture and communities” and how we could strengthen the site through our installation. Then we thought around the theme of “immigration” and what is means to be one.

Migration Timeline

Our Narrative is a journey from past, present to future. Each installation represent a different time and experience of migration.



The relations between migration, trade and wars. Deal castle is

designed to defend the English tunnel. This collage is showing the different battles and trade had happend in Dover.



Three installation in different chambers in Deal Castle.


Jigsaw Furnitures from Last Project We had to grow from our previous projects which were located on the roof of the Deal Castle. This time we were sure we wanted to focus on the interior. We started making sketches and considering the new challenges. From last project, my jigsaw furniture are too heavy and chunky. For this project, I am doing some improvement of that part.

Jigsaw:

Tests and Experiments The Jigsaw Arch is an installation which keeps some sound and video of migration. Through interaction, audience can experience the importance of heritage and experience a different aspect of build.

Different Jigsaw Inspire by Lego. It can build and change places easily, also light and has it’s own structure at the same time.

First prototype

Tried different shape and structure, testing how it works. The first prototype failed, because it is not stable enough to stay in shape when user moving blocks around.

Process of Testing

Then I tried different shape with different connecting point on it, how it can be moved and reconnect into a new landscape.


In the Basement

After studied the site, I pick the chamber in basement to show my installation. The basement have fewer window and light, which make my installation special and become a highlight of the spot.

Testing the materials

About the materials, I test different one in 3D models, include PVC, transparent plastic... etc. Figure that using a little bit transparent plastic can help showing the lights inside

Connecting 3D Printing -- fit in the wall The basement of Deal Castle is made of rocks and bricks. I decide to make my jigsaw 3D printed to fit the wall of Deal castle, lower the percentage to damage the historical building.
