STUDIO BRIEF

Look around. Every manufactured object you see – was envisioned, designed, fabricated, assembled and transported to where it is now. Today as creators, we find ourselves amid a new paradigm shift of 4th industrial revolution - where our physical and digital worlds are completely blended together. This revolutionary transformation has also changed how we make things, who makes these things and the very nature of what we make. Technologies like 3d Printing, Lazer cutting, cnc routing has hastened the iterative prototyping processes. Therefore a new kind of Design thinking method should be employed to construe these new making processes. At academic level, constructing 1:1prototypes is an important facet to validate design decisions. By building prototypes of design concepts, questions about the ‘Real’ aspects of a design can be answered concretely. Will a material be sufficiently stiff? Will a design configuration perform as expected? How it feels at actual scale? In addition, though a computer generated solid model can generate a great deal of information about a design but the information gained by physically working with materials & tools will inform Design thinking processes in a different manner. Ways of building prototypes are often thought of in terms of their production technologies, such as cutting, machining, casting, and molding, Rapid prototyping, etc. Therefore Students learns to develop that extra skill set of planning, procuring material from market, working with machines, assembling with hands and develops an eyes of finesse in detail. The background concern of this unit is to bridge the gap between drawing board ideas and making techniques; both in the way ideas can be embodied in materials and processes and in how thinking through materials and processes (in making and drawing) can tease out ideas. To find some precision in such methods, instead of working on abstract ideas; simple rules of geometric transformation as well as modulation were employed as a guide for underlying principles. These principles govern student’s decision making process at each stage of Design. The first question unit addresses is how to create a functional element which not only follows the principles of geometry but also compliments techniques of materials and their limitations. The Second question unit addresses is how to evoke a seductive playful quality in the final element through human intervention and form transformation. In this unit, each student is required to design, build and test his or her own standalone element to complete the studio. The success of a design may be considered in many ways. Functionality of Design is an obvious measure of design outcome, but how the principle is extracted from the given object of inspiration and how well it is translated into a functional system to compliment given material & production techniques.

Snub Dodecahedron The snub dodecahedron is an Archimedean solid consisting of 92 faces (80 triangular, 12 pentagonal), 150 edges, and 60 vertices. It is sometimes called the dodecahedron simum or snub icosidodecahedron. It is a chiral solid, and therefore exists in two enantiomorphous forms, commonly called laevo (lefthanded) and dextro (right-handed).
