Rekindle

This week I was part of the Rekindle group. A few of the members were away at the beginning of the week for this but as spacial students they put together all the renders and what not of the idea we came up with.

So from the previous week we decided that we would do something entirely different, or it turned out that way anyway. Last week they were looking into recycled items, but they were looking at plastic bags and all that. We wanted to look at stuff that actually should have been recycled out of the chch situation likes materials within houses.

We decided on a recognisable home object, a chair, to make out of the recycled materials. So we decided to actually physically move some chairs around to see what kind of shapes we could make.

As you can see it wasn't that successful. However that was only one chair type and our ones were going to be made how we wanted them to be (in theory) so we plodded on. Another part of our idea was using light and shadow to spell things out for us. One way we tried this was by using a projecter and literally projecting onto chairs.

We liked how some of it would become distorted other parts would be clear and concise. However we didn't know how to do this in a space.

So we thought, why not actually just cut out shapes and have the sun do all the work. A free natural resource. It will distort in the shadows which will be quite cool, however you will have a very obvious letter form on the chair as well. 

The Spatial members of the group all started putting together different ways you could lay the chairs out. This is just one of them that I think Luuke put together.
