a Light Green Light

Initial Project Concept: The creation of a series of three sculptures/ prototypes that are constructed upon renewable energy principles and technologies. While these sculptures emulate iconic Danish lamps in their forms, they are also functional objects for sustainable living practice.

Key Concepts

Key Energy Components: wind, rain, and dew harvesting, solar energy, recycleable materials, water filtration

Key Material Concepts: collapsible, woven, folding, flat-packed, furling/ unfurling, cellular, linkable, tabs, tabbed, slotted, elastic, pliable, cheap, curtain, canopy, inflatable, pouch(es), organic, tessallation, cut-away and/ or cut out.

Key Artistic Concepts: modular, adaptable, kit or diy, the use of everyday surfaces, generative, functional, structural, habitat.

Early Notes (to be integrated)

POSSIBLE METHODS (EXAMPLES):

- Structural possibilities of Folding/ Origami/ Collapsible/ Pop Out/ and Weaving (or Woven) Design Methods

- Possible Incorporation of Reactive Materials (budget permitting)
