RETANA

In the initial stages of our design, many forms and ideas were brought forward. The iterations varied widely from inspiration, form, and concept. Many of the designs began by using the standard understanding of a block, along with the given dimensions of 3x3x6 inches. While these designs worked well for the purposes of easily fitting the blocks together, it limited the design opportunities. We therefore sought to break the traditional form of the block and create something more challenging and interesting. The Design is composed of 3 squares which rotate around the central axis of the block. Two smaller squares are placed directly next to one large main square. This shape is then transformed using the commands, move, rotate, and scale. The result is a shape that possesses highly dynamic qualities. One block on its own appears as a set of forms which are beginning to lean. It is the combination of the blocks however, that bring out the true potential of the design.
