Final Project Part 1 2020

For my final project I undertook creating a high quality render in light of the affects of COVID-19 shutting down the school workshops. My rotating shelf concept came from Bramble and Hare restaurant here in Boulder. I changed their shelving to fit my particular hobby of collecting plants. I have designed a system that can…

Main Project Construction Update 2020

I have added a base to my rotating shelves but I cannot decide if I want to add more square tubing to make the base look like simplified mountains. Even after the Design Review I have decided not to add clear acrylic or chicken wire of any sort to the inside of the basket as…

Your Aesthetic Roots 2020

In keeping with my obsessive love for houseplants it makes sense that my aesthetic has to do with the way they interact with their surroundings. As I have posted before I love modern architecture. What strikes me about the following instagram posts is the way that the black and white is such an outstanding color…

Main Project Aesthetic 2020: plans and alternatives

Originally I believed that I would be able to pretty much make my own version of Bramble and Hare’s rotating bar shelving unit using a gear mechanism (see sketch below). Eventually I realized that this was not to be my future as I would not be able to A) find a sprocket large enough within…

Favorite Youtube design/build videos 2020

Simone Gierts is my all time inspiration as a youtuber. She is a bad ass lady who has found a way to beat anxiety whilst doing something she loves. I have a whole blog post on my own personal website as to why she inspires me as a human which I will link here: https://jamiefrankelhonorsengineeringportfolio.wordpress.com/2019/02/06/who-inspires-me-and-why/…

Inspirations: Bramble and Hare Restaurant https://www.google.com/search?q=bramble+and+hare&sxsrf=ALeKk03qqy5-VvBYRcz1yj9qGm2abXFozg:1583725527416&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiIwe6rvYzoAhVuhq0KHT5KCIAQ_AUoA3oECBQQBQ&biw=1920&bih=937#imgrc=jxZH7-QfnZawcM Vision: After my preliminary review and the destruction that is COVID-19, I am unable to physically complete this project this semester and therefore will be turning in a final rendering of this item. Some of the comments and suggestions that I am contemplating are adding chicken wire to ensure…

Rotating shelving- Constraints

Student Work, Top 5 Constraints 2020

This project is challenging because it has a couple of constraints balance- the baskets/shelves need to hang almost at the top so that they pivot in a way where they are inclined to stay face up. This originally caused difficulty in designing when I came to realize that the original Bramble and Hare design had…

Main Project Inspirations 2020, Student Work

I recently went to a restaurant in boulder right off of pearl street. I was fascinated upon entering at the industrial machine that they had at the bar. This large system allowed the bar tender to rotate between multiple sets of shelves containing alcohol in a novel way. I think I would like to make…

Upcycle Final Report 2020

Dear reader, I would like to summarize how this project went with an original haiku: A bonsai and me, Was not meant to be, a tree; Saguaro cactus. So dearest reader, if you cannot tell by my poem we had quite a metamorphosis since my last post and my bonsai has transformed into a saguaro…

Upcycle Progress 2020

Welcome back to my project dear reader. It is a couple days until this project is due and to be honest I feel slightly flustered by the conclusion of this project. I have now cleaned all of the bike and moto-chain, welded the base and one of the branches. As it happens, it is much…

Aesthetics Game 2020

No Comments

I was shocked at our combination. Our team (Ryan Weatherbee and Jackson Hootman) attempted to figure out a way to combine this object and aesthetic. Street photography was characterized by striking contrast and the concept of “urban”. Urban brought strong visuals of graffiti to me which I tried to incorporate in my image. We first…

Upcycle Inspiration 2020

We were tasked to find a way to upcycle something preexisting to be art or something useful for our first project in this class. I have a passion for indoor houseplants and wanted to make something that would fit this theme. Originally I thought of making a trellis for my plants but that wasn’t quite…

modern

Modern art seems to reject conservative methods of expression such as realistic interpretation of a subject instead focusing on experimental techniques and innovative ways to present shapes colors and lines that often comes across a little bit abstract. Modernism is the aesthetic that I will dive into here as it has always perplexed me. I…
