Design Details
- Unique Properties
- This design is a work of art, using modern geometric animal outline combined with Chinese traditional intangible cultural heritage bamboo weaving, using lighting and geometric hollow structure, to create a gorgeous light and shadow effect.
- Inspiration
- China's intangible bamboo weaving culture is extensive and profound, and there are various patterns of bamboo weaving (Bamboo cutting, polishing, splitting and other processes, will be cut into a certain thickness of bamboo woven together). The existing bamboo design is quite common. I want to integrate the elements of modern design into traditional culture and show the diversity and charm of Chinese traditional culture in the way of modern design.
- Research
- We investigated the texture pattern of Chinese bamboo weaving and the method of adding work to bamboo, and studied the construction of geometric frame
- Challenge
- This design animal geometric frame is constructed from a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional main body frame. Each rebar bracket must be repeatedly adjusted in space. The bamboo weave pattern needs to be redesigned and conceived.
- Realization and Technology
- This material is made of steel and bamboo. The steel is cut to a suitable length for welding and finally welded into the frame. Bamboo cutting, polishing, splitting and other processes, will be cut into a certain thickness of bamboo by hand woven into different patterns.
- Operation and Interaction
- The design is a work of art with lights, which need to be turned on manually to turn on the light bulb, thus presenting a light and shadow effect.
- Project Duration and Location
- Location: zhengzhou university of light industry, date: November 10, 2019 -December 10, 2019
