WILDETECTURE - STREET LANDSCAPE LAMP POSTS




Wildetecture design studio is getting ready to launch another exhibition of our accumulated art work and designs.  Dean sent out an APB on some street furniture lamp post designs weve put together. So ive obliged with a concept sketch of my own, between wrapping up my work drawings for the year and life.  The concept encapsulates several of wildetectures architectural ideals that weve been fervently experimenting with.

Without giving away to much. A launch date of artistic creative design concepts is soon.  Here is  a very rough sketch of the lamp post design. Its very Dr Zues like. This at first wasnt the point of the design departure or intention. Very happy non the less that it ended up with that sort of look and feel. The point of departure was octopus tentacles - nautical, seven thousand leagues under the sea, Jules Verne.  

Just tired of the constant exactitude monotony of street furniture shapes - if humans designed trees we would have tham all exactly the same. Robotic end result - I feel certain street landscapes need a strong organic line like a forest. We are row upon grid orientated designers. To take a design leaf from a tree, dendro morphology - Few trees grow in exactly the same shape in a forest. Which really adds to the forests aesthetic dynamic landscape. Why should all lamp posts in a row be exactly the same. im sure this is not new - But its new to me and the visual experimentation projections are going to be fun. Also this design caters for light disks, speakers and solar panels. without having to add shape. As the circles can have multi use putposes.

Abit of " green tentacles and calamari." To my mind, wildetecture designs creatively wild because nature already has all the answers. We are just geometrically so far behind with our grid like aesthetics.
