Project Matrix- Precedent 1

  

 Architectural precedent: 
Babele Lamp
Babele is a playful, self-produced lamp from brand new design studio based in 
Ivrea, Italy called MID (manifattura italiana design).

 Key Concept: 
Their starting point was a classic abatjour silhouette, disassembling it in plain sections, 
shuffling and putting them back in order, creating and defining light gaps. The lamp that has resulted is like a giant wooden puzzle whose illuminating center shines through gaps in the puzzle pieces. Twist them around to create different design.
 Selected Design Element:
The whole model

 How is the Key Concept Reflected in the Form of the Selected Design Element:
This lamp is designed to achieve a strong flexibility, like a puzzle, all pieces can be put 
together in various orders to create different illuminating use. Each layer will be cut in 
different sizes and leave a gap for the light go through.

 Geometrical Description of the Shape:
The lamp is consist a series of semi-annular shape layers. And the central part is a 
cylindrical lighting component.

 Proposed Scale, Material, Technique:
S: 1:1 
M: Polypropylene Sheets ／ MDF ／ globe
T: AutoCAD
    Illustrator
    Laser Cut

 Time/Commitment, Cost/Budget
T: AutoCAD (3 hours)

Church of Light Step 1: Make a sketchup model to get the sense of propotion Step 2: Make the moduel for grant Step 3: Test 1  Fail - due to overmuch of water Test 2 Nice finish Test 3 (in mold) Waiting for drying -It is hard to pull out the cross in the grout mixture -Broken on the edges Test 4 (in mold) Use ceiling wrap to wrap around the two cross pieces.  Cut the ceiling wrap and pull out the cross pieces easier.  Nice finish Final Model

Kahn in 1967 Key Concept: In the very first scheme, the two separate square volumes are apparent. The circulation is mostly vertical and separated within each volume. Kahn would stray far from this original concept, even incorporating a circle in the square motif. Kahn discovered the idea of two cubes intersecting at an angle.His initial plan called for one volume to be masonry and the other to be wood.
