Palestinian architect and designer showcased Gestures & Ruffles resembling natural movement of marine life.
Gestures is a series of rhythmic glass and 3D printed clay folds that imitate motion in nature. Inspired by the hydrodynamics and forms of marine animals as they glide and dance underwater, digital simulations of hyperbolic crutches were CNC routed to form the molds of Gestures.
Ruffles is a series of miniature kiln-formed glass pieces. Inspired by the flow of marine creatures as they ruffle in movement, the pieces capture motion though their form. The colour palette is an adaptation or a contrast to a seasonal farm produce.
