MATERIAL MEMES

According to the brands selection, students are make decision on choosing materials that represent the brand. For me, the previous 3 brands that I choose are DRL:drone racing league, which is a company that create a drone racing around the world that have a gold on to be like formula1, another brand is Patientslikeme, it is a company that allow access on the website that one patient can share information about their health to one another patient, the company will gather information and produce a health care research, and the last company is Tom Ford, it is a fashion brands that cover all type of fashion, it value is to bring back traditional suit and tie back into the mainstream. 

The materials were provide with the concept of 'one set of materials', which divided into 'innovation' and 'traditional'. Innovation in this case reflect DRL and Patientlikeme that use the online world to access their community. However, traditional reflect Tom Ford, that provide look and actual stuff that provide to their customers.

The innovation I choose fiber optic, because of it characteristic that can transfer life through the edge reflected the online world and the companies.

The traditional I choose elastic string, because of it characteristic/ physical that it cannot transfer life/data through the material itself but can still keep a value of it characteristic as stretch and shrink.

Fiber Optics

evolve

Fiber Optics

component

For the component plate, is to bring a material and change it into architectural field/ installation/ system that has a function.

Fiber optics in this case transfer into an installation that create a space for people to interact and in one way also provide a light in the night time.

Elastic String

evolve

Elastic String

component

In this case, elastic string are use to create an interactive installation that allow people to gather around and play with the installation itself. Elastic string with it unique characteristic allow it to generate a space within space.

Context

This is the plate where all the ideas about the brands and materials combine together. My 3 brands represent a connection between brands and communities that create a network or system that support each others. However, the materials itself also mainly to represent the brands, so this plate is a context(set of idea that inform something) of the materials that link to the brands.

I generate a 4 ideas that it combine both of the materials into one piece in architectural field.
