Post 8: Top 5 specifications, top 5 constraints 2023

My final project idea is to create a vertical garden clock, and the primary decision is to choose between using preserved plants or live plants. If I opt for preserved plants, such as mosses, the process would be much simpler, and the artifact would require minimal maintenance. On the other hand, using live plants has…

For this post, I decided to interchange the aesthetics that I had planned for my two initial concepts. The first idea was to have a clock with a vertical garden around it and the second idea was to make a jail architecture-inspired music box. When the aesthetics are interchanged the clock gets a jali-inspired aesthetic…

After a lot of thought, I have finally narrowed down to two ideas for my final project, but I’m still undecided about them.

This project was an absolute learning experience for me. I started with a cool idea and ended up with something not quite what I intended.

Post 2: What is your Upcycling project aesthetic and why? 2023

The aesthetic I have chosen for my upcycling project is nature core. The reason why I chose this aesthetic is mainly that I love being surrounded by lush greenery, and also I like artworks of this aesthetic. I currently have two ideas in mind: Idea 1: My first idea is to create a floating table…
