The Wire Project
Critic: William Smarzewski
ADC 159 Design Studio 2 Fall 2022
This project was a challenge and creative way to learn about space, void, order, and armature. We had to develop an object with only wires using knots, negative space, symmetry, different connections, etc. To conclude our understanding, we had to make prototypes of our small shape and knots and multiplying the same thing and making a bigger object/creation.
