2016

Sponsored by EPIC®  Metals
Awarded the 3rd prize

Collaborated with Ai Fukuda


This project is the result of a 2-person 4-day competition, sponsored by the Epic Metal Company. We are required to use the metal deck to design a camera obscura, for the educational purpose of the middle school students. 

 

concept

This design explore the visual logic of relation between material and form, aiming to reach a unity between the radial textures of the metal deck and the triangular form of the volume. The intersecting pyramids complement and amplify the tension expressed by the metal deck texture, making a strong and harmonious statement. Inside, the three pyramids define three projection zones inside, each facing toward a main street, establishing a strong connection with the triangular site.
