A sustainable society is created from natural things.

On February 17, Professor Oren Lieberman, Rachael Brown, and Rokhshid Ghaziani introduced our Constructed Object Composition Workshop. The topic title name is A sustainable society is created from natural things. The fundamental geometric shapes are first constructed using simple points and lines, followed by space and context-specific materials. The defining contours of shapes and spaces, as well as the definition of distances and the clarification of spatial depth, are produced through compression and changes in direction.

Paul Klee, a painter, and Bauhaus instructor is quoted as saying, "I begin wherever the visual form itself begins: at the point that moves," as we begin our discussion of architectural space. 

The workshop on built-in object composition could generally cover subjects like design patterns, object-oriented function principles, and methods for combining objects to build sophisticated applications. We might learn how to use object composition to merge these smaller, more manageable components into a cohesive whole in order to solve complicated challenges on a larger scale.

Triangles, squares, circles, pyramids, cubes, and spheres are just a few examples of basic geometric shapes that are used in this assignment. Finding quantifiable relationships is a prerequisite for all forms.  Take them apart and put them back together differently. Combining two- and three-dimensional designs and extending two-dimensional surfaces into the third dimension give architecture its infinite variety.

Heinrich Pittner once said, "If you want to get something done, you have to perceive abstraction and reality as one." Although we are architects and not artists, abstraction serves as the foundation for our works.

And our teachers instructed us on how to connect materials object to object while also describing the material's sustainability and contextual focus. Our first composition focused on connections, and the teacher claimed that a logical narrative can stimulate your thinking and creativity.

I did the composition of the basic shape inspire by Francis D.K. Ching book Architecture--formspace, & order.

The project starts with a simple sketching, measuring, and thought exercise. To organize the design's features, visually appealing connections must be made between each individual building component and between the component and the total. Finding connections between measurements is necessary to comprehend the concepts of proportion. The shorter segment stands in the same ratio to the larger as the more significant portion does to the full, as shown by the golden section, Renaissance theories, and Le Corbusier's Modular. The dimensions of the human body are the basis for all of these depictions. These rules and connections make it possible for architects to construct beautiful, peaceful connections and act as a major source of inspiration.

In light of climate change and economic difficulties, the architecture of the twenty-first century must be "sustainable," or "filling the requirements of the present without sacrificing the ability of future generations to fulfill their own needs and thereby ensuring long-term ecological balance." 
I prefer environmentally friendly materials that can be easily recycled. The materials utilized provide crucial component in building more sustainably: resources that are affordable, easily accessible, and environmentally safe, checking off all the sustainability boxes of sustainability: economically, socially, and ecologically viable. Natural clay, cross-laminated wood, rammed earth, ferrock, hempcrete, etc. are examples of sustainable building materials.

Some of the techniques used in joint object composition workshops include welding, stitching, nailing, tying, riveting, glueing, hingeing, heating, melting, sewing, knitting, crocheting, pressing, weaving, interlocking, braiding, fusing, zipping, screwing, jig sawing, waxing, bonding, magnetic, wiring, pinning, soldering, doweling, friction, and clipping. 

We created the composition twice, once with the base attached and once without. The composition is an example of architectural grammar; it shows how to construct things that are in tune with nature and how to think creatively.

Pathway                                          

The "sustainable society is created from natural things" concept is in fact a pathway. Pathway: a track that constitutes or serves as a path. Direction, connectedness, communication, engagement, refreshment, and attitude are all considered to be conceptual elements. The development of the composition concept is influenced by the pathway, which is comparable to the direction of the sustainable object materials because that is one of the most significant and potent building blocks. It stands for the process of idea generation and creation. Also, the object establishes the course for architectural thinking and creation.

Object Composition 02 _ Without base

The ability to combine smaller, simpler items to produce complex things is known as object composition in object-oriented functions. A self-contained area of space that simulates a real-world thing or idea is referred to in this context as a "Natural Object."

The term "object" may be used in the context of interior design to describe how various interior objects are merged and interlocked or arranged to create a path connecting interior areas. An illustration. In order to provide a sense of flow and continuity between various interior areas, a pathway may be made up of elements like doorways, hallways, staircases, materials used, lighting, and functional spaces.

The act of making anything, taking into account things like the size and shape of the area, the purpose for which it is to be used, and the desired aesthetic or functional attributes. Designers can build a unified pathway that is practical and functional for its intended use by carefully choosing and placing the components that make up the pathway.

Jane Bennett's book: "Vibrant Matter: A Political Ecology of Things,"
The relationship between people and the physical environment is examined in Jane Bennett's book "Vibrant Matter: A Political Ecology of Things," which makes the case that matter is not passive and lifeless but rather vibrant and active.
The topic of materialism, which refers to the philosophical view that matter is the only reality and that everything can be described in terms of material interactions, is also covered by Bennett in the book. Traditional kinds of materialism are criticized by Bennett because they view matter as a passive thing that can be manipulated and controlled by people.
Bennett suggests an alternative kind of materialism that she refers to as "vital materialism." According to vital materialism, the matter has its own agency and vitality that are not subject to human control. This strategy contends that in order to build a more equitable and sustainable society, we should work with the material environment rather than against it. It acknowledges the influence of matter on how human lives are shaped. Ultimately, Bennett's work offers a novel viewpoint on materialism and challenges us to reconsider how we interact with the environment.

  1. You are posting regularly and documenting your work which is great. Can you now start to critically reflect on your work - compare your work to that of others, relate the development of your work to other artists. How does Jane Bennett's thinking impact on your thinking?
