PROJECT ONE

In this first part of the design process we were to collect 5 objects we found
in nature that could inspire you. I chose the following:

My 1st object from nature is a branch from a bush (I do not know the name of).
There are leaves and tiny buds that have not yet blossomed.


My 2nd object from nature is a small branch of a crab apple tree.
The buds have not yet bloomed.

My 3rd object from nature is a small branch from a spikey bush.

My 4th object from nature is a tiny branch with flowers and leaves.
(it died on the way to the studio)
My 5th object from nature is a piece of bark.


We then were assigned to sketch two of the objects we liked the best:


We then began to develop these two articles from nature in sketch up:


The last part of the project is to sketch a space that is inspired by these pieces of nature.
The idea I got from the long skinny plant was a playset inspired by the different pieces of the plant.




The space that I invisioned from the branch with bulbs is a vegan restaurant. Here are a few renderings of the space:
