Project 3 : Polyhedral Structures Phase 2 

SECTION 1 & 3: Packaging Design

1. Recognition of a Problem: The purpose of this project is to apply polyhedral structures using additive methods to create a Packaging Design of an existing or imaginary product.

 

SECTION 4: Wall Structures

1. Recognition of a Problem: The purpose of this project is to apply polyhedral structures using additive methods to create a Wall Structure .

 

ALL SECTIONS:

2. Definition of a Problem:

·       Create a three-dimensional form based on polyhedral units.

·       The form should be free standing

·       It must include negative space in each unit to emphasize rhythm and pattern

·      You must apply a COLOR SCHEME according to the concept of your design

Size requirements:

PACKAGING: Will depend on product you have chosen.

WALL STRUCTURES: At least 12”x12”x 2”.

Materials

Bristol board, color, printed or painted paper,  translucent materials may be incorporated into this project.

3. Research and Preparation:

·       Look to the natural and built environment for ideas and inspiration.

·       Use white or colored bristol board or another semi-rigid paper that suits the construction method for your design.

4. Analysis

·       You should develop at least 5 sketches.

·       Based on the sketch concepts, explore your ideas as sketch as 3D models in bristol paper.

 

5.     Synthesis

·       Synthesize your sketch models into a final concept. Keep in mind that the design will continue to develop even as you begin to construct the final form.

 

6.     Evaluation:

Make sure that your final design meets all of the project requirements.

 

7.     Presentation

·       Be sure that the instructor has reviewed your final sketch model.

·       Use bristol board or any other material that meets the design need.

·       Use tape and adhesives that best suit your materials.

·       Work neatly and accurately. Quality and craftsmanship is important to the overall design.

 

8.     Implementation: 

In your BLOG or FOLDER you should post/ include:

·       Sketches and research images.

·       Photographs of the outcome of PHASE 1 of the project (Various views)

·       Photographs of the outcome of PHASE 2 of the project (Various views)

·       1 Paragraph describing your approach in solving the problem

(Explain why you have chosen this kind of polyhedral/s, relationship between them, color scheme applied, etc)
