Recycled artists easel wildetecture

The eco green recycled artists easel is an Erxell QJD design studio creation. Artists and designers using the easel are subliminally reminded to recycle. I have designed the artists easel in the same mould as the drawing board using part recycled materials. Its fifferent, rild and never begore seen. Just the way design ideas should be. None of this monkey see monkey do cut paste copy con nonsence. 

Kinetic architectural shadow projection - wildetecture

To create the coral space wildetecture conceptual new buildings. A new point of design departure was imagined. What if the design went way beyond its obvious function. Creating an over and above concept or task for the design to acheive.

Case study 3 - Shadow projections on muizenberg beach using designed for shadow purpose building landscapes-Proposed erxell development 1.

What if the focus of the design was to create a shadow of a ball that moved along the beach as the sun set during a few summer months of the year. This would dramatically create structures and shapes that would evolve from this exercise. It would change our inherited box like thinking and create a series of shapes not yet seen. Not yet even imagined. This to accomplish the task of the shadow knows.  The shadow design process will determine the outcome of the buildings shapes. Take architectural sculptural designing away from human thought and make it into artistic task driven shadow sculpture. Get rid of the architect, let the shadow take over the design. Nows there is an exciting thought.
