We were each given a piece of writing to examine with the brief to design a container which encapsulated the theme of the piece of writing.
The piece I read was about Utzon’s Paradigm and my container reflected my understanding of this. It was formed from clay which cracked exposing the true nature of the material. Over time this will continue to degrade an since the tutorial it has been placed outside to allow further change to occur. I plan to record the changes throuhout the year.
The concept of the container is that it protects the tree. I chose the bonsai tree as it represents the influence Utzon had from other cultures, in particular from his asian travels. I would have liked to use a cherry tree as Aalto makes reference to the cherry tree in his writings. he suggests that it is beautiful because every flower is the same but different. Unfortunately this was not possible due to economies of scale.
