Architecture being key inspiration for the outward facing project Brunt wood, I had created a
research log full of different architects and designers. This research log was an
initial starting point to help get my creative juices flowing by having inspiration
from a different area that I have not looked into for a while and from researching into the project it was clear the similarities of how i design and how architecture is would benefit my progression for this project.
The main influence came from An Architecture book, “ Patterns 2: Design, art and architecture “ this book has 100 plus designers work pictured from architects to designers, filmmakers etc., a good diversity of inspiration all in one book. What interested me was how the use of lighting in architecture is a key element on making the work more powerful- it gives it the purpose that it was intended to create.
Attending this
tutorial with just my research log, showing that many different artists that
have inspired me to take my work further into a more of a 3D element. In the
research log, the main inspiration had come from architecture references that
relates to my work now, I do try to use different sources than just textiles to
inspire my work due to my work being very structured with a complex and minimal
theme to it.
Lasering was the process that interest me in these designs, of using a laser to create the patterns to give them a 3D effect, where i use a 2D effect. It was interesting seeing the complexed designs in a 3D aspect, seeing them 3D gave me the thought of "this is what seeing your designs in context really looks like" it gave me the eagerness to wanting to translate my flat designs into laser cuts and to try and use them in some sort of 3D element, not as extreme as a building but to try and not use my patterns as flat patterns anymore.

The next steps for this newfound research is to
create structured patterns like from my inspirations to develop into unique
pieces that go from 2D to 3D possibly. As architecture has a transparent
element to it, built with windows, holes the outside of the building, then it
was obvious for myself to be playing around with the use of stencilling for
myself to create the transparency effect.
