About Eastern Blocks ابتدائي ڪارج: ڪنڪريٽ زيور

ايسٽرن بلاڪس ھڪ ڪنڪريٽ زيورن جو مجموعو آھي جيڪو مشرقي يورپي پينل بلاڪ ھائوسز کان متاثر ٿي ٺاھيو ويو آھي. ھن مجموعي ۾ ھار ۽ ڪن جا وينڊا شامل آھن جيڪي اڳواٽ ٺھيل اپارٽمينٽ عمارتن جي شڪلين جي پيروي ڪن ٿا. ڪنڪريٽ ھن ڪري استعمال ڪيو ويو آھي جو ھي مواد ھلڪو، غير الرجڪ ۽ آسانيءَ سان نه ٽٽندڙ آھي. ھر ٽڪرو ھڪ ٽي-ڊائيمينشنل ڊرائينگ طور شروع ٿئي ٿو، جنھن کان پوءِ پروٽوٽائپس ۽ ڪاسٽنگ لاءِ سليڪون قالب ٺاھيا وڃن ٿا. تيار ٿيل ڪنڪريٽ حصا پوءِ چانديءَ ۽ چمڙي سان ڳنڍيا وڃن ٿا. ھي مجموعو مشرقي يورپي فنِ تعمير جي ورثي تي ھڪ نئينءَ نگاھ ڏيڻ جي دعوت ڏئي ٿو.

Production Technology
I chose concrete material - light, non-allergenic, and less fragile to create an ode of a brutalist dystopia. First of all, I designed 3d drawings, made prototypes, and then, started to create molds for concrete details with silicon. When the concrete pieces were finished, I started metalworking with silver and leather materials.
Design Challenge
To find a form, which would be understandable, that it's blockhouse jewelry, but minimalist, aesthetic and impressive.
Research
I made monitoring of the architecture and society attitude of Eastern European houses. My objective was to find a way, how to talk about post-Soviet society and Eastern European architecture heritage in fashion accessories. The main point is to start a discussion with locals' minds about this unique architecture and spread this wearable message. In this collection, I question people’s attitudes towards Soviet heritage and invite you to take a fresh look at Soviet architecture and society's illusions.
Inspiration
The collection was inspired by Eastern European panel blockhouses as an iconic modern community symbol. Shapes of panel buildings and us - people, who live in individuality fiction, because the truth is that only a few centimeters between the walls separate us and our individuality is just fiction in this world.
Project Duration
This project started as an idea 2018 but I finished this collection 2020.
Operation Flow
Wearable jewelry made of concrete. Light, strong, and non - allergic material make jewelry more comfortable and wearable. This technology and design give a chance to wear architecture in real form and material as a piece of jewelry.
