Metals I: Fall 2014: Kulindros (Tin Plated Steel Project)
Metals I focuses on learning properties of metal materials through the process of making. Hence, the class encourages students to solve problems of joinery and form through trial and error.
The objective was to make a multiple forms out of sheets of tin plated steel which could be easily manufactured. Then, committing to one form, reiterations were made to improve the form into a finalized piece. Later, it had to be multiplied to create a final product and reveal other applications for the configuration .
PROCESS
Beginning Object
Multiple forms were fabricated and one was chosen to be reiterated
Selection Criteria:
-easy to manufacture
-simple and elegant
-shows potential joinery without manipulation of form
or additional materials (i.e. soldering, rivets,etc.)
-movement when multiplied into one configuration
Reiteration
Objective:
-stable connection
-emphasis on center fold
-equal rolls
Final Design Selection
Thank you!
