Ideas in Form is a 5 part project where we look into the several dimensions of work. So, we start with a concept and build it to a final product.
Our project idea started with a combination of two opposing ideas: Warming and Smart. Sunah had the idea of making a smart device and I wanted to work in global warming. Combining the two ideas, we thought of creating a speculative design of solving the problem of global warming through a smart device.
This post is the second part of the project: 2D or 2 dimension. In this, we had to update our concept of 1D and come up with 10-15 probable ideas of our concept. All of them were given the form of a sketch and presented during class to find the best concept.
