Final Project – Draft 3 – Combinations and Screens

After deciding that the lamp within a lamp idea was not going to work as I imagined, I moved on to combining my lamp with other objects and eventually came to a decision. I am going to look back in order to move forwards. I will return to the screen idea from earlier projects but will add a further level of development: a regular pattern falling onto an irregular surface. This irregularity will distort the original pattern and bring a further understanding of the distance from the object to the screen. This will be made manifest in a screen installation to be isntalled

About Nancy Cheng

Univ. of Oregon Architecture Department head Nancy Yen-wen Cheng, RA, LEED AP researches how design tools and approaches shape outcomes, with a specialization in how craft and computation can stimulate the creative process. She has developed expertise in manipulating sheet materials to create light-modulating structures and has researched how surface relief patterns can increase convective cooling. She has developed fold and slot joints that give structural rigidity to foldable sheet structures and is eager to apply them to rapidly deployable refugee shelters.
