Final Project- Laser cut: From procedures to presentation

Finding a fluid form for my stall was important - i wanted those who walked inside to be engulfed and surrounded by an array of aromas and sights, and to visually capture how these scents rotate and move around and across the space. I used a small model at first to explore shape, in which I cut the previous model into strips and arranged them in different sized circles, slightly overlapping one another. i joined them together to create a very circular shape (retained from the first form) and from here eventually decided on a similar form to that of my final design,  shown below.

Here are the end results, after using illustrator to generate the pattern, the laser cut, and the addition of cellophane.

What it might look like to step into the stall...




The exit/ entry ... though preferrably the exit, because it offers the open side to attract customers, while thos who have travelled down the path can leave in a much less hectic atmosphere.



 The Outer skin layer
 Light effects as the light catches all of the layers
Sense of mixture and unpredictability - two key qualities in my initial design.


I felt like the model and photos generally achieved what i wanted in terms of ideas and visualisation.
