Esquisse three – ‘Form vs Function’



Background

Form vs Function is a common phrase with the birth of modernism, but is it as black and white? as form or function, or a comparison. Why not Function vs Form, or even Function with form.


Process

Using only balsa wood and wire (no glue or fixings) you will create two scaled mockups of a structure designed to hold the human body. You will need to brainstorm with two different approaches, one based on form and the other on function. Inspiration for the form could be natural or man made. There will of course be a crossover with the form and function, and that is to be expected and used to create a great design outcome.



Submission

At least two designs, that best illustrate your results. On your blog you are to briefly discuss the pros and cons of each design.
