A look into Frank Lloyd Wright's history as a architect and designer showed what his methodology was, and how he approached design, this led to creating a methodology, which was the starting point for this project.
A stage which started after a methodology was created. The initial designs were looking at how to convey Frank Lloyd Wrights methodology into a wall clock, and still creating a functional and working clock. The main focus was put on using solid shapes, and not enccessarily sticking to a generic clock shape (Round).
Different use of colour, experimentation with shapes and where to place them. This is what the ideation stage consisted of, by doing this experimentation, a final concept could be chosen to further develope, through sketching and use of solidworks.
The chosen concept was a combination of some initial concepts, and was a design that related to some existing designs Wright had produced, along with keeping with the design methodology. This wall clock design would be best suited to a modern and minimal house/environment.
The current stage this project is at is concept development, half way along the design methodology chart set out at the beginning of this project.
Inspiration from patricular designs of Wirghts were put into this final design, use of simple, block shapes, and having the design suit its surroundings and be in harmony with nature. In order to achieve the last task for this design, use of natural materials can be done if the clock was to be put into production. For example of wooden finish, or a material that is sustainably sourced.
A concept level solidworks design of the final clock idea. It uses the idea of Frank Lloyd Wrights design, in which geometry was a major part. The solidworks file will be completed to achieve a final presentation board.
