myLight is a “Do It Yourself” luminaire intended to provide a user with a memorable experience and appreciation for design and fabrication. Made from durable mylar, myLight is hand assembled by the user following a video as a guide. The object becomes more than simply a store-bought lamp as the user is involved in its [...]

This year was PROJECTiONE. PROJECTiONE has been a collective focused on the relationships between digital and analog processes in design and fabrication. The individual has been removed from the collective in a pursuit for true collaboration, but as our thesis year ends we recognize the importance of our individual interests after graduation. We have determined [...]

INTRODUCTION: Radiance covers a standalone brick fireplace in a mid century ranch home in Broad Ripple, Indiana. The clients rarely used their existing wood-burning fireplace and wanted to change its function. We proposed an ambient lighting piece that still hosts traditional qualities of the hearth. As an artist and an architect, the clients’ liberal and [...]

bitMAPS was initiated through a client’s interest in a sketch prototype, and developed as an inexpensive patterned wall system. It integrates a custom design through a repeatable mold and integrates multiple functions of the room. The project is intended to create a clean but complex texture that is engaging to sight and touch, encouraged through [...]

PROJECTiONE was recently invited to be a part of a marketing piece for Ball State University. The 90 second video story will be featured on the Ball State University website. It includes interviews from the four of us paired with a handful of expertly shot B roll of the 3 axis mill, laser cutter, 3d [...]

After several inquiries we are making the soundtrack to our videos public. The songs featured in our videos are chosen after hours of careful consideration. We would like to credit the featured artists listed above.

We would like to invite everyone to attend our final thesis presentation this Thursday April 15th at 1:45 – 4:00pm in the College of Architecture and Planning’s first floor gallery. The presentation will cover our entire body of thesis work / research, and will be followed by an open discussion. The exhibit of our work [...]

LIGHTFORMS is based on the same production system used in Luminares. The profile curve of the shade is first generated in Rhinoceros and can be customized to any shape. A Grasshopper script interprets this curve, determines the number of components needed, and lays out each simple component with its necessary intersections. The parts are laser [...]

The Begley Art Source, A Division of the Evansville Museum Shop, has recently invited us to feature a selection of our work in their gallery. The Begley Art Source is a consignment gallery for artists and designers, and has consulted with area corporations and individuals to develop their art collections, heightening connoisseurship and broadening appreciation [...]

PROJECTiONE has developed a position on how we would like to practice through self reflection and trial by fire execution of client-based work. As seen in our client-based strategy post, we have developed more appropriate definitions and descriptors of our processes. These descriptions have evolved over time and through reflecting on our experiences with actual [...]

This version of Bodhi Tree was customized and designed for a residence in Evansville, IN. The clients originally articulated the desire to replace an existing plastic tree, with something more expressive and elegant. The system was reinterpreted for this specific application, consisting of more than 3,000 wood veneer components, which were redesigned at 2/3 scale [...]

This semester PROJECTiONE has begun engaging in client-based projects, while maintaining a consistent focus on product design. Much of our work last semester was internally driven in order to demonstrate our collective methods. Our intent for the rest of thesis is to examine the existing client-designer relationship in order to understand how our process changes [...]

This is a prototypical process growing out of our previous experiment CNC Pen, combining precision digital tools with loose analog tools. This method has been further developed as a study of the relationship between these tools. The process includes translating a raster image file into vector format, separated into various color levels. These vectors are [...]

Information about the wood was collected through a Computed Tomography (CT) Scan. This technology is traditionally used for visualizing structures within the body. The CT scan takes X-rays of the wood in section using increments as small as 5 millimeters. The scan of curly maple (above) reveals the grain of the wood. This data was [...]
