Project 2.0 objectDEVICE

Marc Fornes

Digital modeling fundamentally creates objects and the relationship of surface, facet, node, and edge expresses form.

You will flex your newly found (or developing) modeling skills to interpret the subject in one of the provided photos/projects. It will be important to define specific dimensions and to find additional information/photos in order to understand the scale before modeling. The model will focus on the articulation of form and the interrelationship of constituent parts. The model should visually answer these questions:

How is the model’s material quality expressed by the form?
What is the relationship of the device to a human being?
How are constituent parts attached or fastened?
What is the models relationship to the context?

Your model will be assessed on creativity, clarity, attention to detail, and quality of craftsmanship.
