Project 2, week 1

For our second project we was all given an object worth £1. We then had to record, respond and remake this object to fit in with either interior/architecture/product design. The object I was given was a shower cap. I began by taking photographs of the shower caps then playing around with them to see what I could make out of them.

Recording and responding to my object by sketching it out how it originally started.

Combining the shower caps together to create a form of architecture to see what simple shapes I could make in a small amount of time.

For my first test design idea I decided to build a car park using my shower caps. I left the shower caps in its original form with a wire inside holding them to a circle shape. I slanted each side using wood to hold up each floor together. I enjoyed doing my first test idea because it was fairly simple to make and gave me more ideas for my final piece.

For my next idea I decided to build a wet room/bathroom and use the shower caps as a part of interior. For this idea I was inspired by Christo Jeanne Claude's work with the way he used similar materials to wrap around larger scales e.g trees and lakes. I found his work interesting to respond to and use for inspiration.
