Artefacts
Designing-Through-Making

 



— Understanding Structures Through the Development of Digital & Physical Skills —

Sustainable Joints & Connections.

Balancing Type and Use of Skills.


> Designed for the first-year undergraduate student with limited prior understanding of three-dimensional forms and the processes for developing and communicating experimental yet purposeful structures for intervention within an urban environment.

> My approach to designing artefacts enables students and professionals to call on various skills to convey their ideas to third parties by using a variety of different media whilst gaining an understanding and testing of the performance of different materials as well as iterative/non-linear processes in playful experimentation and analysis.
