Design Ideas on the London 2012 Olympics Theme
I thought this idea could almost be like a scaled version of the London Eye. The dome shape or half a sphere works well with this idea & the properties of a good speaker,This design is based on 3D writing with the overall depth allowing room for the components.
This design is based on the Olympic flame idea, with it being textured & almost teardrop in shape. I wasn't sure how well this idea would work once it had been manufactured.
This idea is based on the Beijing national stadium which was nicknamed the bird's nest stadium. I really liked the idea of texture but I wasn't sure how I could manufacture the effect I wanted. I also wanted a design that would relate more directly to London 2012. I liked the idea of a sphere with texture almost like a ball of string on the outside. I wasn't sure how I'd manufacture this or how it would work when it's in use.
This is looking at the shapes involved within the new Aquatic centre for London 2012. I like the organic curves & it reminds me of a stingray profile.
These sketches are looking at how the shape could be drawn & manufactured using Pro Engineer & CADCAM methods, if it was possible to use a CNC router with the limitations the machine had.
These are two different ideas I tried modelling out of blue foam so I could get a sense of scale & how it would look in a 3D form & where the components could possibly fit.
