Here's one of my bright ideas* that I'm proposing to submit for the Eskom Lighting competition of 2012
See left corner of the room
Standing, hanging, leaning, it still looks nice!
The driftwood was cut in half and then the LED's were pinched trough the holes
At night ;)
And once in a while the batteries has to be charged with the use of miniature sun panels on a cute little block of wood...

Hub concept 2012
My HUB concept is based on the
collaboration of music and an orchestra instruments. I was Inspired with the
way instruments make different noises but still they work together in a band to
create something interactive and playful – MUSIC.
My HUB is mainly for the use of students
who like to interact with one another, skateboarders and free spirited bicycle
riders who we find all over Cape Town.
The primary structure can be assembled on
any terrain because of the flexibility of concrete when it is casted. The
secondary structure is also very flexible in terms of slope differences
depending on which terrain the primary structure will be casted. Overall my
concept is adaptable to any landscape.
For me, the object was to create spaces
that are intermediately connected, but still in the liberty of its own. When
looking at it on plan, you can see that there’s a direct flow to the whole
arrangement of the primary and secondary structure.
I introduced the use of green architecture,
thus my wi-fi tower is a synthetic tree hidden in vegetation on the south side
of my ‘’contemporary park’’. This is visible on my drawings.
When emerged in this space, I realized that
it makes people feel that they have to discover the rest and mission trough it.
This stimulates the creative mind to explore, dream and discover. And that’s
exactly the bottom line ; EXPLORE, DREAM, DISCOVER.

HUB CONCEPT
I will soon be uploading some pictures of my latest model when I finally get them off of my camera... This model was what we created in class a a group. My own concept is inspired by this idea. It has laid a good foundation for me to pull the strings to express my new concept.
