I am remembering why I’m always so excited on days when I had technical lessons in school 😀 Weekend Project: Feeling like a D&T student back in secondary school again! . From idea to material conception to assembly. Now waiting for the components to set, sand and detail. . #weekend #project #designandtechnology #secondaryschool #woodworking #carpentry #wood #artandcraft #kitchen #cutlery #kitchentowel #holder #shelf . #CitiSketcha #urbansketch #urbansketcher #urbansketchers #urbansketching #USK #sketch #draw #pen #ink #brush #watercolor #pencil #light #dark #shade #blackandwhite (at Vynsnt's Stdyo)

An immersive art installation by Grant Dudson @grantedaccess in collaboration with Mansfield Design for the Ford Fiesta press launch. Photo taken by influencer @sliceofmatt. . The immersive art installation has an infinity room feel to it due to 360 degrees of floor to ceiling mirrored walls. It's a bit like walking into a city designed by Tron @philly2222. The sculpture at the centre pays homage to the contours and design sensibilities of the #fordfiesta. As influencers and journalists navigate around the sculpture they are detected by infrared sensors which triggers projectors installed in the heavens above to indicate how the car sees with its 360 degree vision technology. . #immersiveart #art #artwork #lightart #artinstallation #artwork #artistic #artist #artinstallations #artistsofinstagram #instart #instagood #instagoodmyphoto #instadaily #ford #space #interior #creativity #creation #imagination #future #brandexperience #car #cars #design #technology #designandtechnology

Design & Philosophy : Ornament and Crime

There is a strong consensus in the world of architecture that Adolf Loos is one of the founding fathers of utilitarian building design. Regarded as the first modernist architect, his essay ‘Ornament & Crime’ is looked on now as a design philosophy.

This essay stated that the ornamentation of objects was to be avoided at all cost and it was counter-evolutionary to go against this. 

"The evolution of culture marches with the elimination of ornament from useful objects"

Above is an example of his modernist design, the Villa Muller with it’s minimal white facade, rooftop courtyard and carefully considered windows is a perfect example of where functionality comes first.

This now widely accepted design style was considered revolutionary at the time and encountered much opposition. Today Loos is considered an icon but he considerably divided opinion during his day. It is his work in social housing, which is often overlooked, which I would like to focus on.

Loos believed that every family should have a home of their own, mainly consisting of two floors (one floor for living, one floor for sleeping; as this is how we divide our lives). Each house should have it’s own plot of land, able to grow fruit and vegetables. 

Appointed chief architect for social housing, he worked alongside Josef Frank in trying to move away from building the apartment blocks which dominated Vienna and fought hard to democratise housing in an image that he saw as sustainable. These simple terrace style houses were popular with residents, however the financial backers did not get as much return for their money and ultimately he was muscled out by the powers at be. The Vienna ‘settler’s movement’ was doomed to fail.

Social housing is one of the epicentres of philosophical design. It is how our compassion for other human beings is measured and in at least this respect, Adolf Loos strived to provide good in the world.

D&T 10 : a material journey

Rachael Jane Sleight is driven by a passion for materials and timeless design. She developed an in depth knowledge of manufacturing techniques and process whilst designing and developing accessories, lighting and furniture collections in house for Habitat and Conran. Rachael now has her own studio and continues to work on commissions for leading retailers and manufacturers, while teaching at the Glasgow School of Art. 

Rachael initiated a thoughtful discussion about her personal ethics as a designer and how she returns to them time and time again. She showed us different objects spanning her enviable career, and revealed some of the considerations behind them. Browsing her portfolio is a journey through an array of products for different audiences, all elegant and each with a surprising detail;

the visually arresting Wire vase for Conran at M&S, the copper wire pinching the glass into an unusual form which jolts our preconceptions about glass as a material,

the charming Paston console for the same collection, with a thoughtful key bowl and brass letter rack, well considered touchpoints to add some ease and luxe to somebody’s day, 

the Crumple flat packed pendant shade for Habitat, working with the wrinkled nature of the Tyvek (and flat-packing) instead of against it, resulting in a warm and textured light-shade, 

through to her recent explorations in leather and all of the ethical issues associated with it.

She imbues products with a sweetness and charm which is subtle, not garish, and has a sense of function and familiarity. As a designer she has made herself an expert in tactility, haptics and honest material use, through extensive experimentation. As well as succeeding in making me very jealous of her knowledge and skill, Rachael shared valuable insights in working as a commerical designer and balancing the agendas of different people involved, makers, customers, businesses and herself. Navigating this world after graduation is scary, but these seminars throughout the term have diffused some of that fear by shedding light on the realities of working as a designer, while emphasising crucial advice to centre ourselves and our careers as we please. I am truly grateful to Rachael and the other designers who have spoken to us for their honesty and generosity about these matters. I was captivated by her discussion throughout, and it delights me to have met and learned from another great designer in our midst.

Heatherwick uses each of his design projects to answer a question; he describes every outcome as the sweet spot between certainty and doubt. Thanks to Peter McCaughey; we have all seen the Twisted Cabinet and Rolling Bridge: two iconic Heatherwick designs that evolve everyday objects into another dimension. Despite being and expert in 3D, every year Heatherwick designs a Christmas card; every time posing a new question and new design challenge to himself. Having started out designing as an individual; his name and style now head ‘Heatherwick Studios’, a huge team of designers, engineers and thinkers all working together to research and experiment with ideas and ways to make them happen, how to answer their own questions. 

The studios’ design process relies heavily on its’ workshop; realising ideas through making (experimental pieces, prototypes, full size parts of buildings). The majority of projects coming out of this design house are on a huge scale, often conceptual plans for future buildings or areas that challenge our current perceptions. 

Heatherwick still takes the time to send a special festive thank you to everyone who helps his team throughout the year. Returning the act of sending a Christmas card back to it’s original intent; with thanks, and made with care, effort and thought, not 2-dimensional, and not bought with a pre-printed message inside; a principal that echoes through all his work.
