This was our last and final project. This project entailed us to design a luminaire using three materials. Two of which were used in previous projects and a new material. Our luminaire "should create a field of light that articulates that surface upon which it is cast." The first part to this was finding an inspiration through design researching. We did this through observations, designers and websites, as well as materials.
I looked at and observed the sun. Every morning when I would walk my dog, I would see the sun rising. I would occasionally see the sun setting. I also had several pictures I had taken of the sun rising and setting in Iraq. I looked at images of the way the sun hit the water and the effects it caused on the sea/ocean floor. Since I was torn between both the water and the sunrise/sunset, I started to think about how to create the effects I wanted. Then my choice was narrowed down when a classmate who sits next to me wanted to work with the effects of water. So sunset/sunrise it was for me!
Below are some of the pictures I had taken in Iraq.
This was during my 1st deployment (in a Humvee):
These two were from my 2nd/last deployment (outside work but inside the base):
