Design Project 1 - Other Groups

A lot of other groups had interesting concepts; However, some of their meanings were lost on me and I was confused as how they pertained to lightness.


Unfortunately, with this group I was absolutely lost in what their idea was. To me all I gathered from it was that there is a tree-house in a tree with a hammock. I don't understand how there is lightness in this concept other than that the model would be off the ground. Perhaps it may be too literal or they may have stayed from the theme.


This version of a tree-house also loses me in where the concept of light comes in. Perhaps they were going with Trees are growth and growth is life and life is light? I'm not sure, however; I do like their concept drawing and how it would be interactive in that children and people would be able to get inside.


I understand more about this groups concept than the previous ones. I can understand where the light is coming from and the idea behind it. I also find the visuals on the page to be very useful in imagining and visualizing their structure.


I feel that this group was far too literal in their take of enlightenment and went too far with the religion theme, deviating from light too much. It is clear where their concept originated from, but again I feel it is far too literal. It could also possibly be offensive to those walking through the botanical gardens.


This poster shows that light is knowledge and the concept of growth from the tree. On the other hand, I feel as if the poster is far too detailed with too much information that is not visually represented, and the sculpture/model itself is not clear. Perhaps they should have spent more time visualizing than writing.


This group did a good job in representing their sculpture, however the poster really lacks detail or any "umph" so to speak. I do like the concept of using natural light to create a shadow in the form of a student using a tree shape. I don't understand how Light is Life relates to a student or a human holding a diploma though.
