Test 1. CNCing the autocad spirals was not without complications. -The helix tool in autocad automatically recognises itself as a three dimensional Helix. Had to ensure the Z value was on Zero, further checked with the ‘Flatten’ command and then ‘Pedit’

Aluminium Tectonics- Joints and Fixings

During our tour around the Ash and Lacy site we were given the opportunity to take part in the fabrication process of a panel, which allowed us to understand the folding, drilling and riveting process. We inherited these processes incorporated

Aluminium Tectonics- Concept and Configurations

In line with the brief as a group were looking to design a façade for the Birmingham conservatoire. We began to look into sound waves, triangular sound waves in particular. Taking the simple triangular form forward we looked at how

Digital Fashion / Workshop 3 /Aron

In the third workshop we carried out a life drawing exercise similar to workshop one. We then further developed our drawings using architectural processes such as laser cutting. Below are examples of the drawings I did in the workshop. Working in

In the second workshop we were introduced to another group of fashion students and customised an existing garment. We used techniques that are popular in Japanese fashion, making an incision and adding a contrasting piece of fabric. The outcome was very

The first workshop gave us a chance meet the fashion students and begin to understand how they work. At the surface you would think that two design subjects may operate similarly, but completing the workshop was unlike anything I have

Digital Fashion / Task 1 / Aron

For the first task I decided to explore the avenue of origami after being inspired by the geometric patterns formed in the garment below. Above – Hood With Sewn In Shape Memory (Material Revolution) Sticking to the theme of triangles

Abstract Drawing #2 Again ran by Lee, we looked at drawing in a similar approach as the 1st workshop. This time it was less focused on the drawing allowing us to discuss the possibilities of how we can incorporate technology
