20TH CENTURY DESIGN

CONCEPTUALISM

Conceptualism is an idea. (Generally it taken to be an idea or reason how the work to be/ trigger the mind for the artwork. Concept may be relay to something that may or not may related to the thing in past to developed the future. Concept and object bring a different way of understanding. Concept can be something that functional or something that can be aesthetics and object is mostly about the function and the way to use.

For the report, I had been doing this project in Design Studio-Conceptualization of form. First, I use the hair roller as Lego. First concept is playing around the hair roller to create form from connecting the hair roller around. Then, we were asked to create from not functional form to functional form, so I created a clothes stopper. This idea trigger because of the limited space of drying clothes in my house and also how to stop the clothes bunch with others clothes. So I use the hair roller by connecting them with string.

If I decided to develop this prototype, 2 concepts that I should think of is about the ecology and design problem space.

For ecology, I need to change the materials that I use because plastic need longer time to dispose and I should think of something that could help with the problem that happen. First, we can use recycle hair roller that already break or we can use another type of material. For me, I would like to use rattan or bamboo because of my culture. For the string, I could choose a biodegradable material or dye the string with the natural pigment that can be found in plants or flowers. This is because, the string that I use is using chemical to bleach to make it white or I can use rattan rope to connect each bamboo roller to create the clothes stopper.

About the design problem, is what measurement that I should have. “Should I make it too long or comfortable with the user or should I use hook to connect it to the wall or I should nail it permanently there?” Using this question, I need to make research about furniture design and famous artist that has a good design in this field of study or look about rattan furniture or artist that creating something from nature, for an example there are designer that created a bicycle from bamboo.
