Post 11: Final Report 2021 Part 2: How

PART 1: WHAT Inspirations For this project I really wanted to create something that I would use long term as opposed to making something just for this class. I thought of creating a chess board since it is a hobby that I picked up at the start of quarantine to pass the time and yet…

Post 9: Top 5 constraints, top 5 specifications

Just gonna dive right into it I guess CONSTRAINTS 1. Cost – I am worried that this project is going to end up costing me a lot more than I had originally intended. I’m trying to stick to a budget of $150 and I have already spent about $80 just on the wood materials. I…

Post 7: Main project aesthetics – plans and alternatives

For my final project I ended up deciding to move forward with my chess board idea. For my project I will be combining a sort of rustic aesthetic for the features outside of the board while using a sort of technological aesthetic for the board itself.

Post 6: My Personal Aesthetic 2021

I would probably describe my personal aesthetic as that of a working tourist. I’m the type of person that when there isn’t anything to do I tend to lose my mind a little bit, but on the flip side I also really enjoy taking time off to travel and see different parts of the world.…

Post 5: Main project plans and inspirations

Between the upcycle project and the work I had for other class, I hadn’t put too much thought into what I would like to do for my final project. As a result, I don’t have that many ideas for something that I could do so for this post I figured I would just list out…

Post 4: Upcycle Final Report

VISION The aesthetic that I chose to base my upcycle project around was spaceflight. Spaceflight is unique in that its aesthetic is one that arose out of feasibility rather than design.

The aesthetic that I have chosen to base my upcycle project on is spaceflight. I already explored the spaceflight aesthetic in my first blog post, so I’ll talk about my plans for my upcycle project as well as why I decided to choose this specific aesthetic. My plan for the upcycle project is to recreate…

Post 1: Aesthetics Explorations 2021, Student Work

There has always been a fascination with outer space amongst humans. However, it wasn’t until 1926 that the first steps were taken to usher in the Space Age. Robert Goddard’s historic launch of the first liquid fueled rocket in Auburn, Massachusetts on March 16, 1926 marked the beginning of a new era of technology. With…
