Generating ideas from design research

To come up with solid model ideas, I will start by taking solid and simple shapes and arranging them into compositions to build around. When working from the ground up it may be easier to think of more complex ideas than doing that straight off the bat,

For example, this concept for a music hall and sports centre designed by Tatiana Bilbao.It was designed with the exterior revolving around the interior, with the interior having five levels to accommodatedifferent kinds of entertainment like; concerts or boxing matches etc.

2D Composition

2D composition is as simple as it sounds, it is basically the interesting arrangement of various shapes

There are two types: closed compositionwhere objects are drawn as though confined within the outer borders of the page open composition- objects look unrelated to the size of the frame, creating an impression of extending beyond the boundaries of the frame

Creating my own 2D compositions

These works by Sandor Bortnyik would be classed as closed composition as the objects do not extend from out of the boundaries of the page

While this work by Vio Valova is open as we don’t know where the objects could extend to in relation to the boundariesof the frame

Using this collection of 2D shapes, I organised two different layouts
