45. form form . . . project brief
design an abstract form that be contained in a cuboid 45 x 45 x 300 and that touches each face of that cuboid
your form must express at some point: a circle, an ellipse, a triangle and a square (these shapes might be visible on the surface, but could also be concealed within the object as cross sections)
do your best to make the transitions between these shapes as intriguing, pleasing and elegant as possible
aim to give this Form a clear and recognisable personality

develop your form through hand sketching and card models in the Studio
when you are happy with the design, use your E28 workshop induction to make a prototype model in rigid foam appraise the prototype and refine it
during the remainder of the term, you can revisit the workshop to make an accurate final model of your design in mdf
use colour to embellish the model

you can use of the studio to draw, but not to sand models
Gary will supply material and handtools
you can use E28 or E29 to model foam, but it is your responsibility to clear up the mess when you finish
you can only shape mdf in E28 and space is limited to 10 students at a time

49. beauty
To make something beautiful is not about curves versus rectangles, saturation, hue, symmetry, proportions or any other hidden "aesthetic code.”
To make something beautiful is about deciding what you want, to make it, to expose people to it, and to claim with authority that this is beautiful.

51. form beauty . . . Joshua Bell
beauty is more or less constructed socially. For design, this is both a freedom and burden.
Because everything can be beautiful, we need to think carefully about what we make beautiful this is the true challenge of design. M Hassenzahl
