During my final semester at the University of Colorado this course, Aesthetics in Design provided an introductory immersion into the world of design. Each week I wrote a blog post…
Why and What Next: I set out to make the dynamic light cylinder because I wanted to have a project where I could merge my engineering and creative skills. My…
This post will be purely dedicated to the logistical and technical work that I have done for my final project. I will cover the manufacturing process associated with my artifact…
This week I have been focusing on the servo motor to cylinder interface. I designed the housing to be as simple as possible and it can also account for large tolerance…
I have begun building my final project. I knew the machine shop was going to be busy after spring break so I decided to get all my turning done before…
This weeks blog post will compare the current aesthetic in my ambient lighting sculpture based on tropical nature, minimalism and future tech with 20th century design movements more specifically Art…
For my final project I decided to build an ambient lighting device it will be in the form of a cylinder. LED’s will be placed near the bottom emitting light…
Manufacturability: Whatever design I wish to pursue has to be manufacturable with CU’s resources either from the ITLL or the Idea Forge. I put this category at number one because…
The product I will design will be an intersection of multiple ideas. What I know is that I want to use a Raspberry Pi to keep driving my computational knowledge.…
Like many of the students in this class my skills are what you would typically expect from a senior mechanical engineering student. However, everybody has strengths and weaknesses I believe…

As a warm up assignment we are recycling low value waste into aesthetic pleasing objects. Deciding what to do isn’t always easy however for me this time around it was…
Recently I have been hooked by “Topology Optimized” designs I think their aesthetics can be very attractive and the engineering behind them is very interesting. Topology optimization is a branch…
