Sculpture

1st Project of 1st Year 2nd Sem


Sculpture

Task: a sculpture wih polystrene as the main material is required.

Precedence Study: Pagoda
The idea of the number of stories and the sides of pagoda is base on the concept, Yin and Yang.
according to Yin and Yang concept that applied in pagoda,
odd number = Yang; even number = Yin
the concept had been applied to the sculpture where:

• 3 levels/ elements (odd number); 4 sides of base/ square base (even number)
• the orientation of the sculpture is due to the sun path to create silhouette. the Yin and Yang idea of the pagoda is adapted in the number of fishes in second storey;
• the east and west faces of sculpture have 5 (odd number) fishes as the sun represent Yang;
• the north and south faces have 6 (even number) fishes which is Yin to balance the Yang.
  

The Working Process

as polystrene is very light material, it can easily be blown if the wind is too big
so the base is more solid than the upper components..
wires are installed inside the sculpture as reinforcement and also connectors to hold the components.
