Rules :

1. Pick a piece of Steel Mesh(not wire)

2. If the first letter of your last name is between A-K,

Bend it into curve, using the round part of the Design Machine.

Doesn’t matter how many times you bend it

If the first letter of your last name is between L-Z,

Bend it into an angle, using the box part of the Design Machine.

Doesn’t matter how many times you bend it.

3. Using hot glue gun, stack it up on the cardboard.

4. If the pile seems to fall down in your turn, support the pile with Steel Wire (not mesh) in your own way.

Reactions :

The most basic design concept is to show the contrast between curved surfaces and angled surfaces, so I want to know whether the relationship is balanced, or not. The role of my design machine is for curving or angling these surfaces. After the classmates' making this model , I could see that the curved surfaces don't conflict with the angled surfaces because of the unity of the material.

In addition to that, all mesh pieces have to be stacked up, but it couldn't be possible because of the weight, so I added steel wire in the process to support the mesh pile and to show the contrast between surfaces and lines. Actually I wanted classmates to build the wire from the cardboard to the mesh, but somebody built it form the mesh to the another mesh, which made this model more interested.

This time I tried to make the process very simple, so that people could understand clearly, and the result is pretty successful.
