CATHERINE ANDERSONMADELEINE MERCKARC 363 SPRING 2015

1ST STAG

E:WE DESIGNED ORGANIC SHAPES IN RHINO TO BEGIN

CREATING A LAMP SHAPE THAT WOULD BE UNIQUE IN ANY GIVEN SPACE, BUT AT THE SAME TIME ALLOW

FOR LIGHT TO EMIT AND MAKE A COLLAGE OF SHADOWS ON THE WALL

2ND STAGE:

WE MOVED INTO SKETCHUP TO START DESIGNING OUR OWN FIXTURE. WE WANTED A LAMP THAT

WOULD EMIT A LOT OF LIGHT BUT WITH ITS SIMPLE GEOMETRY CREATE SOMEWHAT OF A COLLAGE ON

THE WALL.

WE PUT TOGETHER SQUARES AND TRIANGLES TO CREATE A

SOMEWHAT SPHERICAL SHAPE, BUT TO ALSO HAVE

ENOUGH OPENINGS FOR LIGHT TO BE LET OUT AND

CREATE SHADOWS.

3RD STAGE:

WE BEGAN TESTING LIGHT AND LIGHT INTENSITY IN A ROOM, TO

SEE HOW THE SHADOWS WORKED

LIGHT INTENSITY WAS NOT ENOUGH
