First Environmental Design Project






These are pictures of my very first Environmental Design project; the goal of the assignment being to join two natural artifacts with a linear material. When I began the project, I decided to base it around the leaf; I found it first while walking around campus. It's uniqueness and diversity from all the other leaves had inspired me, and ideas immediately started flowing. I got the idea to mimic a fan and looked for 'Y' shaped sticks. I didn't have any luck finding any the right width, but I stuck with this one and it seems to work. To join them, I used an earthtone colored hair tie.
