Evolution

After seeing the mid semester presentations i really liked the ideas that Karolinka had researched on the Fibonacci sequence as it was an elegant way to combine shape and structure to create an efficient system for enclosing a space.

Karolinka went on to research structures in nature such as bone and trees and the psychological and physical needs of people while i was interested in efficient geometries and joint systems. For the final presentation we needed to combine all of these ideas

Mind Map Madness

I've reached a point where i have way too many ideas in my head! In an attempt to make sense of it all i've done this mind map to sort out what ideas i had before the mid semester crit, what ideas i have taken on board from the presentations and whether or not all of the ideas are still relevant to the flat pack design.
