1. Week 01

This week I worked on creating a press-fit build kit using the laser cutter.

2D and 3D relationships

The idea and inspiration for this assignment (laser cutted parts and making from them 3Dimensional object)came from Joseph Albers’s art works, picture 1, then I was thinking about destijl movement and how Piet Mondrian worked with colours,of kind the same philosophy Mondrian express in 2D and then it transformed to 3Dimensioanal as in architecture and product design (for example Rietveld’s chair) so express the same philosophy for spatial experience, picture 2(Details from No. VI / Composition No.II by Piet Mondrian, 1920; Contra-Construction Project (Axonometric) by Theo van Doesburg, 1923; Broadway Boogie Woogie by Piet Mondrian, 1942-43), and third thing I was exploring is ornaments in Armenian carpets, picture 3, I decided to take part of ornaments, laser cut it and have a combination of them to translate 2d ornaments to 3D. I think this kind of transformation we can find in other art works, as well as teachuing art history and styles in art, design and architecture.
