Design Process

Throughout my design process I’ve been heavily influenced by the stylistic and sculptural designs of my chosen architect, Jurgen Mayer-Hermann. I’ve been intrigued by the playfulness in his work and have tried to represent this in my designs.
I’ve adopted the concept of exaggerated design, with reference to the main office of J. Mayer H. - I love the way this building commands attention, created by the numerous, circular, eye like openings in the facade which appear to ‘watch’ the street. Using my initial paper model I have continued this concept in a smaller scale building by exaggerating perspectives and using depth to achieve the same effect.
I have also played with the idea of perspectives in the creation of my client. My spore creature, “Insight” is all about the visual (and being a bit playful), her incredible vision is able to take full advantage of the extended perspectives of her environment.
 
Though there is still a way to go with my different marker, models and overall detailing, I feel I have a solid concept and direction in which my design is rooted.
