1. Sou Fujimoto- Inside Outside Tree (Carimorton, 2010)
Fujimoto has been bold to use cable ties to join each piece of the sculpture together. This fits in well with the sense of chaotic within “Inside Outside Tree”, linking well to my concept of folding and layering materials. The most interesting aspect is the box surrounding most of the inner geometry.
2. “Corian Super-Surfaces” DuPont Corian and Amanda Levete Architects
(Argyriades, M. 2009)

Light, colour and shadow have been heavily considered in the design of “Corian Super-Surfaces” by Dupont Corian and Amanda Levete. This relates well to how I can consider light, colour and shadow in my sculpture, experimenting with the ways of folding or layering.
The protruding floor is another interesting element, especially with the choice of material. T he architects have been successful in creating a very fluid curve within the design.
3. Sustainability of Terrazzo Flooring (Klein & Co, 2022)
Focusing on sustainable materials, I am incorporating Epoxy Terrazzo in to the design of the sculpture. Epoxy Terrazzo uses post and pre consumer waste to construct, this material is also water and stain resistant. This will enable the wet room to be easily maintained, particularly when the client is not there and there are other occupants using the wet room.
4. Green Cast Acrylic, Made By MADREPERLA (2021)

Green Cast acrylic is made 100% with recycled raw materials (R-MMA). This is a circular material which doesn’t loose its optical, mechanical and thermal characteristics. This will be incorporated in to the sculpture and will be apart of the shower panels & doors in the clients bathroom.
