Grow: Precedents

0 Comments
 "Patterns are everywhere..." according to the brief.
It has been my challenge to find a minimum of 6 precedent images that I want to use to create a 3D printed model. These precedent images are meant to be used as inspiration and to create a visual theme while investigating an aspect of pattern.

One:
I really like the pattern on this peacock feather. This image captures what I really want to create, growth of a pattern creating new form. The pattern of the structure works well, but the way the colours grow create a new form out of the same pattern. Due to the slight changes in the DNA of a peacock, new forms are made visually, producing the peacock spot.

Two:
I like the shape of this vine as it develops itself. It is very fluid despite the hard stone. As the direction of this vine moves from the right towards the left, the vine actually becomes wider as it "grows". This indicates that the vine is growing from a point on the right, and changes inch by inch.

Three:
 With growth there must be a starting point. This is the literal starting point of a plant. Also an anchor point, weighing down the plant to a specific place in the world. The roots of a plant are not only a starting point of growth, roots also grow themselves in size and length as a plant ages.

Four:
The pattern in this is intriguing as the straight lines are a channel for growth and fabrication to occur at the top of the column. By looking at the bottom and working upwards, there is a rhythmic movement of symmetry, and a satisfying feeling towards the ancient art.

Five:
 This is 3D printing and I really like the way the left side of the model twists together. I can't quite decide if that is the end product of growth, or if it is the starting point from which the form unravels, producing a model.

Six:

On the left lamp, I like the structure it has and the sharp points facing upwards. This would complement the column structure in a model, leading towards growth. There is a system involved with this model in relation to growth. The sharp points grow upwards towards the sun, if it were a living organism. However, the model itself is the light source, representing the sun.


I want to use a combination of these precedent image to create a 3D printed form which investigates how changing a pattern or adding to a pattern can create new forms, but still have a visible connection to the pattern.

I am a designer, currently studying Design Innovation at Victoria University of Wellington. My focus areas are website and mobile media development, interaction design, 3D modelling and animation and audio-visual space. My blog shows my journey through each project as well as my learning experience through university. What do I want to be when I grow up? I have no idea. But I love what I'm learning. Although there have been many bumps along the road in this journey and despite the fact that there are going to be many more, I wouldn't have it any other way.
