SPACE

This year I want to be more adventurous with my designs and ensure that all the spaces I produce enable individuals to feel something completely different. This term our main focus was to produce a piece of sustainable furniture which would encompass a particular space within the Cardiff metropolitan buildings. I chose the heart space for my design, although this space functions very well I saw a large amount of opportunity with it particularly due to the incredibly high ceilings.  My focal point for my design is geometric bright bold shapes, not only in the furniture but with the space as a whole. Using the height of the space I want to create large geometric instillations which help to increase privacy between the furniture but also provide a contemporary, exciting and adventurous atmosphere within the art building.

According to the internet the definition of the term ART is = the expression of application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in visual form.

As a design student I love being creative and therefore I want to inspire people within the building to be as bold and out there with their designs. This space will therefore be a reminder to all students that anything is possible and to be as creative with their designs as possible. Alongside this is was also inspired by Olafur Elliason.

Olafur Elliason is a Danish-Icelandic artist who is known for his sculptures and large scale instillations . One of his main designs which inspired me was his Kaleidoscope artwork. These are instillations which create a variety of reflecting colours which encompass the space. This is something I would like to experiment with in the heart space, I believe that it is the perfect place due to its large sunlight roof which floods the interior with a vast amount of light. I could use the large geometric instillations to reflect the sunlight and produce a variety of different coloured shadows within the space. This is something which I am currently working on and developing as I move my way through the project.
