Architecture

For a recent college project, I designed a set of crockery that could be used in the commercial industry or even sold for people to use at home. The brief told me to pick an Architect and then use elements of the Architects style to design a crockery set that reflects it. 

First I researched different Architects..

This was a very interesting part for me as one of my main interests in the design world is Architecture. I love the different styles and shapes that modern Architects use and then I also like paying close attention to the mixing of era's in buildings. 

A few Architects..

Richard Meier

Daniel Libeskind - Denver Art Museum

Frank Gehry - Disney Concert Hall

I researched a few Architects and built up a database of my own consisting of building I like and then other I didn't like as much but still had interesting styles.

I chose Richard Meier.. He creates modern buildings with a very clean and simple aesthetic feel, but still manages to make them functional and modernist.

So i took the buildings and information and created my Crockery Set..

Computer Generated Using Google SketchUp..

If you analyse the Richard Meier Image I have posted above the front of the building looks as though it is a separate panel that has been 'attached' the the main structure. His building are mainly white and have a simple collection of shapes, almost as if the only shapes he knows are Square, Circle and Triangle..

I created a set using the same principle he does, 'accommodating only what it need to accommodate.' I read this among one of his articles.

Comments would be appreciated!
