Cocoon Playground, Stefania Solaro

The following three options are the analysis of THE SCALE. The most properly ways that I find in order to keep into the cocoon concept is by making a more open body, integrating the gruond into the cocoon mesh - option 1 and 3. The second option shows the possibility of a cocoon`s family conecting the bodies with each and having a different ctivity in every unity member.
SKINDEFINITION: The pattern more suitable for this concept will be the last option of the organic group.

  1. keep up the good work

    The very idea of a cocoon is that it is forming a CLOSED body. But I don't think that this is a problem. Your project is now concerned with the following two concepts:
    NET (like in spider net) and MOIRE (moire effects)

    believe me: there is not one pattern that is better then the other. So what you have been doing and will continuing to do is to create (nets with) patterns and overlay them. By doing so this patterns will then create moire effects. That is important: please think about the theoretical background of effects and affects and what a moire is. It is something that does not physically exist but still can be perceived. Is it effect or affect? Is it extensive or intensive?

    commenting on your overall structure: I think you have already developed a sensibility for the spatial arrangement of your nets and the scale of its patterns. I like them.

    What is not being solved in your design is how the nets react to the ground.

    The final layout is something you have to be able to explain (why would you chose one formation over the other)

    You should also start to think about structural issues. How does it stand up?
    What are the materials you would be using?
    What colors would you use? and how would these colors affect the moires?
