Precedent Study: Walls, Screens, and Ceilings

Wood is such a beautiful material, and the fact that they brought the wood up the wall and onto the ceiling to create a continuing element is ingenious.  The straight lines combined with the warmth of the wood create a good mixture of contemporary and organic elements.  It has a good natural feeling, which is always calming.  SCREENWOOD

The nomadic wall system is great for open spaces that just need a partition from view but not from sound.  The material appears simple, lightweight, and sustainable; you can easily reuse and recycle this system.  Having shapes like this provides appeal to the eye and makes me smile; it is fun to look at the simplicity of such an interesting design.  NOMADIC ARCHITECTURAL SYSTEM

I feel as if a bunch of Lego’s, with a contemporary color palette, were stacked in trendy columns to provide the division of space at some gallery show or fashion show.  The color really adds a contemporary flair, but the varying size of the circular shapes stacked together creates a fun, youthful feeling.  Instead of feeling as if you need to act proper in this space, you are allowed to loosen up and experience the design with differences in size, color, and arrangement.  SOFT WALLS

This metal screen is really intriguing: the pattern of the metal looking like puzzle pieces is beautiful to the eye.  When put together with the metal texture, the combination makes me feel like an enamored kid.  I want to touch it, feel it, and experience it.  Seeing it makes me think of how kids are naturally attracted by shiny objects, and because of this feeling, a softer feeling comes to life from the material.   CNC SCREEN PUNCHING
