Talking About Logo &Typeface of Teabox

Jen and her team, Pentagram worked closely with Teabox founder to develop the new identity for Teabox brand. The tea company located at Siliguri, Darjeeling and it’s all started by understanding the tea from all possible aspects.  Given an opportunity to have an eye-opening visual experience to see how the tea is actually created and transported. Pentagram started to create and develop a custom made typography for “Teabox Stencil” typeface to deliver the traditional tea-crate aesthetically.

Custom made typeface called “Teabox Stencil” is use to deliver the traditional tea-crate for its logo and typography more aesthetically. To create a new identity brand with an authentic feeling of the typography, Pentagram present a contemporary mark by joining “T” and “B” letter to form a distinctive monogram icon, while anchoring it firmly in the history of the product.

Furthermore, a simplicity design also runs throughout the Teabox logo by make use the positive and negative space effectively to deliberate the new identity of its brand. Dealing with the proportion of typeface and monogram in relation to structure gives a color contrast. Furthermore, the nonlinear and stencil cut qualities of the icon are truly inspired by the tea production process that delivered with the luxury die cut detail finishes.

Creative Couplings - Joshua Comaroff & Ong Ker Shiny - Private Cemetery

CHRISTINE 16237

Talking About Twin Shape Design

This Private cemetery is built for a Singaporean businessman that located at Nanjing. This private cemetery designed as a public garden, that have a carefully balancing its private and public aspects, as well as the past and the future uses. The small heritage landscape includes lawns, a small lake, and a remediated pine forest. But among the landscape there two tiny structures are not programmed to provide points of appreciation to the natural and contemplate the cemetery as a memory space and reflection area.

 This double & clones tiny structure that designed as a part of the private cemetery at Nanjing, related to the Singapore-based architect Joshua Comaroff and Ong Ker Shing book of “horror in Architecture”. Individual objects that are doubled, split or occupied to each other’s may consider as possibilities of architectural language, that shifting from a “natural” of each form to the awkward or distorted shape. The authors try to describe the theory of horror in architecture as the effect of horror to a modernity and modern architecture design.

 In this private cemetery that design by Lekker, also represent the element of the theory “horror in Architect” aspect by having an intersected part at the back of the two twin shape tiny structure. It’s intersected at some part of the structure and makes use the design language as the opening access to its structure.

Comprehensive - Buckminster Fuller - Geodesic Dome

CHRISTINE 16237

Talking About Material of Geodesic Dome

The philosopher, inventor, and architect Buckminster Fuller created a stunning architectural structure that known as, Geodesic dome. He studied the structure of shells and networking with economical cost, lighter, and stronger than traditional wood, brick, and any other stone building materials.

An invention was made to adapt to a nature environment by creating a spherical spider’s web structure because of its high strength to the weight ratio. Geodesic dome made of triangular elements that forming a great structural strength while using the least material. The similarity of the triangles shape makes the domes easier to construct and benefits by being structurally stronger.

The most impressive building among all of his geodesic dome was the eye-catching US Pavilion at Expo ‘67, the World Fair that held in Montreal. It captured the attention of futuristic architects around the world and originally sheathed in a thin acrylic and aluminum aircraft tubing but it was destroyed by fire in 1976. It has a visually more solid than the version that we experienced today. However, its represent a structural nakedness, that creates a beautifully transparency architectural design.

But on another hand, this spherical structure may also cause an efficiency problem in furnishing the spaces, because it will be hard to have a squares furniture into a round plan structure. The amateur domes also tended to leak when it rained, insufficient use of insulation that limited the energy efficiency, and inadequate numbers of skylights left interiors dreary. Moreover, the transparency outer structure of Geodesic domes gives beautiful looks and efficient in energy savings by having a full skylight view of the transparency structure. But it may cause non-privacy design toward the purpose of each building. However, this Geodesic dome is one of the best solutions to help a broken world with a quick, cheap, reliable, and self-supporting structure that can be easily constructed with a minimal amount of material.

Fashion Collab - Issey Miyake & Kazumasa Nagai

CHRISTINE 16237

Talking About Colors 

Pleats Please is one of the Brand collections from Issey Miyake in collaboration with one of Japanese graphic designer, Kazuma Nagai that launched by 2013. In this collaboration, Miyake’s goal is to create a new technical boundary of fabric with a concept of “Life”.

The clothes featured five main images with the five vibrant colors which were selected from a group of animal creatures that created in 1993 by Nagai “life” posters. It uses five bold colors to feature their five cute and colorful animals drawing with flourished of humor in red, blue, yellow, green and purple to adorn the brand design.

To celebrate and promote a new release of this new collaboration brand, Issey Miyake also designed a one-week pop-up store. In terms of translating the series of the clothing design into a spatial concept experience, Fujiwara uses and play with various geometries of the graphic shape in making the architectural details. Some of the animal shapes have been extruded into a sculpture and voided out of the partition with the creatures shape.

This technique is to manipulate the view cross of the whole plain and white gallery to display the cloth. Deliberating the use of white color to the whole store design creates a contrast vibrant colors that have an eye-catching look across the white plain store that also to express a bright and cheerful character of Pleats Please cloth from its color usage. Moreover, it also helps to bring the two-dimensional creatures represent to life with its pop up colors in a white background.

Architecture - Assemble - Folly For A Flyover

CHRISTINE 16237

Talking About Material of Foly for a Flyover 

Folly for a Flyover (FFAF) was designed by British non-profit organization Assemble that completed on 24th of June 2011. These temporary structures were self-initiated and located between the east and west bound traffic of London’s A12 highway.  FFAF structure was made out of reclaimed and donated materials such as; wood, clay brick, and scaffolding with rope.  The whole installation was designed to be easily constructed by all the volunteered people with any skill level could contribute and help out in the construction process of the structure.

 In three weeks’ time of construction, there are more than 200 volunteer people to help out the installation and construction of the project. Involving the volunteers and giving them a sense of ownership to this public space that they built to get the recognition for these communities. After six weeks, the structure was dismantled and all the materials were brought back to a local primary school so it can be recycled to make new planting and play facilities within the school. In short, the whole idea of this non-profit project is to make use of recyclable material to build more functional spaces.

Transforming abandoned spaces into a multifunctional public space where the residents and visitors could meet and enjoy the community. It was a very successful piece of work in creating spaces with consideration and design thought towards the surrounding ecosystem for the whole process of construction.

Comprehensive - Buckminster Fuller - Geodesic Dome

Yang Wenqi 16858 Talking about the design of Geodesic Dome.

Buckminster Fuller's Geodesic Dome was a visionary architecture in 1940 when he invented it. The advanced structure of geodesic dome is as futuristic as the design in our modern society.

The geodesic dome is a spherical structure, Fuller patented with an omnitriangulated surface which gave it super strength.The structure of Geodesic dome is shaped like a sphere, looking similar to a sphere that is formed by the network of triangles.

A Geodesic Dome are divided by equal triangles, as a result of triangles have strong nature and similarity, thus this will benefit it’s structure and by that, it can take advantages by being structurally strong.Fuller researched numerous examples that helped him on Geodesic Dome projects, such as fishing nets, beehives and more. He uses lightweight materials, still, Geodesic Dome is actually a structure that can build to last.

What Buckminster Fuller wants for Geodesic Dome is functional. In 1927, he founded the company, operated the company to develop his design ideas, at the same time,he wants to establish a "design science" to solve energy, materials, housing and other issues. By doing that, his works solved the government and people’s problem, this is the reason why his design was be affirmed and sponsored at that time.

Buckminster Fuller’s visionary design was not only a great influence in the architecture design, even in fashion design too. For instance, the triangular elements are used by many designers, simultaneously, wearable architecture is more and more fashionable, it has become popular and on trends in contemporary design.

Architecture - Assemble - Folly For A Flyover

Yang Wenqi 16858 Talking about the concept of Folly For A Flyover.

Folly for a Flyovers is a temporary project that lasts for 6weeks for the creative festival in London. It is built under a neglected space utilized as the cinemas, cafes, boat rides and performing space. For Folly for a Flyovers, there is no fixed, it is a project that can be easy to assemble and disassemble and reuse. Because of how the structure is and it is built.

It is a non-profit group purpose to explore the city and reuse forgotten space,they created something evocative in a disused space. They gather art and social groups into abandoned corner, reconstruct it to a new social communication space,using the space to build something up that is perfectly matched with space's atmosphere and serve the local people.

Before achieving this project, they deliberate on how space is being used, and how giving play to its role is effectively equal important. create-london wrote about how the concept of this project is in motion: It's about enjoying the action, with others, from the building to the event. Which I totally agree with this theory.

To sum up, although the project exists for only 6 weeks, but what Assemble wants to take this chance to remind the public is there are development possibilities in places where people have ignored and forgotten.

Communication Studio - Pentagram - Tea Box

Yang Wenqi 16858 Talking about the typography.

Tea Box packaging has a custom-made typeface, it is specifically designed for tea-box.

The font has three kinds of weight, regular, middle and bold.The designers developed a custom-made typeface called ‘tea-box stencil’, influenced by traditional tea carts.The Typeface carries a mood of the combination of past and modern.By applying of san serif shows modernization.But the font used for the product title is the regular font when a regular font is used for the title, they tend to looks very light in weight.

The empty space in the middle of each letter leads the emphasized onto the negative space more than the positive space, the reason for this problem is because the weight of the regular font is too light, also the typeface is widely kerning. Thus it will be real to awkward for reading along with the reader will see more of the background color rather than reading the product name itself.

In my point of view, the middle and bold weight will be easier to read than regular weight, however, middle and bold weight only appears on the product's logo and product monogram (icon) on.

In one's own view, the fonts for the packaging might not fully express the concept of the product, I feel that typography should be readable beautiful at the same time.

Fashion Collab - Issey Miyake & Kazumasa Nagai

Yang Wenqi 16858 Talking about the pattern design of this collection.

This collection of products for the brand pleats please Issey Miyake, in collaboration with Japanese graphic designer kazumasa Nagai. Five main images were selected from a group of animal posters created in 1993. In this series, Miyake instills the life into clothes, rather than simply put Nagai’s artwork as a static graphic.

All the Pleats Please clothing in flat form, they lay still on the wearer, with their different body shapes and movements, simple 2D form suddenly changed and shift. The design full of energy and optimism, the geometric shapes builds a variety of playful details.

The graphic design in this collection reminds me of Keith Haring, who was an American artist and social activist best known for his graffiti-inspired drawings. There are some similarities between their design, all of them use bold lines and bright colors, as well as the shape. In contrast, based on street art environment, Haring inspired techniques of graffiti and murals, employed bright and artificial colors, the uses of clean lines and simple image painted gave new life to figuration in painting. Nagai’s use bold and quirky characteristics created beast-like forms.

                                         Artwork by Keith Haring

To conclude, although they are similar in style or ideologically, their artworks are worth to appreciate.The collaboration between Miyake and Nagai use the bold idea and unique design caught our eyes, at the same time, give customer new shopping experience.

Yang Wenqi 16858

Talking about the location of Private Cemetery

This project is a private cemetery and a park stationed landscape heritage outside the city center of Nanjing, it is a unique location with calming scenery where including lawn, small lakes, and forest.

The concept itself is composed of a public garden, but in fact, it is a private graveyard. This project put the new concept into the cemetery, you can enjoy the natural beauty and historical features of the location, at the same time, it provides a cemetery of memory and thinking space, this atmosphere will make relatives and friends feel peaceful. When a tomb built in open space, there will be more headroom to remember and cherish the memory of thought.

Others cemetery in China is different from this. The general cemetery is located in the mountains which have been described as deserted, even terror. Each tomb is actual close in distance, and there is not enough space, not enough privacy. According to Chinese tradition, the orientation of the terrain and surrounding environment determines the specific location of the cemetery, at the same time, it will also be considered from the perspective of geomancy.

                        Sanshan cemetery in Fuzhou, China, in 2011

Personally, this private graveyard is a peaceful space, meanwhile, transfer the park atmosphere to the cemetery.

Fashion Collab -Issey Miyake & Kazumasa Nagai

Yang Yu Jing 15479

Talking About The Cultural Influence of Issey Miyake & Kazumasa Nagai Popup Store.

The pop-up store uses very contrasting and bright colours with basic geometric patterns. This is probably influenced by De Stijl usage of simple geometric shapes. The juxtaposition of animal heads seems to remind me of African and Egyptian totems.

When the very strikingly different style of designs is all put together this creates a dramatically different perspective in fashion. This design is hence a very successful design for high fashion which requires an almost bombastic first impression in viewers.

The usage of patterns also reminded me of those Japanese woodblock paintings from the Edo era, the well-defined contour usage is very distinct characteristics of the paintings. The repetitive patterns being reflected on bags and other commercialised daily items also reminded me of Andy Warhol.

Overall this pop-up store, in my opinion, has a very effective store design because it has an impactful first impression along with creative graphics.

Architecture - Assemble - Folly For A Flyover

Yang Yu Jing 15479

Talking About The Location of Folly For A Flyover.

Folly for a Flyover transformed a disused motorway undercroft in Hackney Wick into an arts venue and new public space.

It started with the idea that how spaces are imagined is often as important as their physical characteristics in determining their use, the Folly reclaimed the future of the site by re-imagining its past.

The folly was described as the home of a stubborn landlord who refused to move to make way for the motorway, which was subsequently built around him, leaving him with his pitched roof stuck between the East and Westbound lanes. However, it is exactly why this place was so successful as an art breeding ground.

It’s accessible location allowed people to be effortlessly engaged in its activities, it also helped the area to get more exposure to art critics and lovers alike. Folly for a Flyover is a perfect example of a piece of the art installation in the making, it also provided a platform for artists to get more exposure of their artworks.

Yang Yu Jing 15479

Talking About The Color of Teabox.

The teabox packaging has a clean, modern and chic design. It’s clever usage of complementary colors in its packaging further improved its outlook.  The main packaging line consists of mainly clean, white background which further accentuates the freshness of Teabox’s teas.

The usage of pastel colours is particularly effective in this line of products. As we all know tea has to relax and calming properties, hence the calming pastel colours work hand in hand with the product itself to create an effective visual communication to the customers about the effects of tea. Colours are also matched very nicely with the products that are in the box - such as chai tea being packaged in an orange box, golden moments in a yellow box and serenity in a blue box, etc.

In conclusion, I believe it is a successful project to create an impactful experience for the tea consuming community who buys their products.

Creative Couplings - Joshua Comaroff & Ong KerShing -  Private Cemetery

Yang Yu Jing 15479

Talking About The Material of Private Cemetery.

The private cemetery located in China made use of very common materials like concrete and wood  very effectively to depict a modern outlook which is very different from the current cemeteries. Due to the structural durability of the materials very angular and stable structures could be made. This also hence successfully was able to camouflage the garden as a modern park rather than making the visitor’s first impression of it as a cemetery.

The usage of concrete, wood and stones accentuated the Japanese philosophical idea of Wabi-Sabi which essentially means finding beauty in the imperfections of nature. The buildings were felt almost unfurnished to give the rustic feeling. It is interesting to have such a modest looking cemetery belonging to a rich businessman, perhaps one could suggest that he wants to depict him and his family lineage as stable and long lasting as concrete and wood.

Overall, I believe this cemetery is a very intriguing project as few cemeteries are designed in such a way. It is also amazing how people treat afterlife so seriously. This makes me ponder as to what the future will hold for the cemetery when space constrains is an issue, especially when it is already an issue here in Singapore when only recently several tombs were relocated due to space.

Comprehensive - Buckminster Fuller - Geodesic Dome

Yang Yu Jing 15479

Talking About The Future Prospects of Geodesic Dome.

Further developments in geodesic dome construction may come from more effective building materials. For example, in 1997 a concrete block manufacturer developed a hollow, beveled, triangular block with scored edges that could interlock with adjacent blocks. Decently shaped, such blocks could be used to construct domes.

Another innovation involves designing the structure based on a different mathematical premise. In a true geodesic dome, the edges of the triangular elements align to form great circles. Although not geodesic, a new design patented in 1989 uses other shapes such as hexagons and pentagons to form domes with an elliptical cross section.

Although geodesic domes improve strength while minimising construction materials, elliptical-profile domes offer two different advantages. They can cover a circular area without rising as high as a spherical dome. Also, they can cover irregularly shaped areas that vary in height. One of such structure is located in northern Mexico - the world's largest industrial domes are a pair of manufacturing buildings covered with elliptical roofs 224 m long and 80 m wide.

In conclusion, I believe the future of structures like geodesic dome will depend heavily on material usage as we continue to innovate new materials.

Talk about the Visual Merchandising of the shop. 

To promote the collaboration between Issey Miyake and Kazumasa Nagai, a one-week pop shop was designed by Keisuke Fujiwara. The characteristic of the shop colour is deliberately used in white to show the contrasting vibrant colours of the animal and artwork which will bring them into life like how Miyake intended. The spotlights are shining directly to each of the mannequin, the sculpture, and the clothing rack to show emphasis more on the product too.

It is a spatial experience for the shopper as Fujiwara transformed the playful geometry animal print into various architectural details.For example, he uses some of the animal design and extruded it into sculptures to display in the shop. The animal silhouette has been voided out of the partitions,  at the same time inside the silhouette, clothes and accessories are placed inside. It is a very interesting approach on this visual merchandising by  emphasising on the silhouette of the print & and placing your product onto it. There’s one monkey silhouette partition out, and the product being display is the monkey, so which makes a connection between this both. The colour scheme of the clothing are categorised into the same color they are, so it’s easy for the customer to browse their favourite colour directly just by going to the colour they want.  

In conclusion, it’s a good retail experience because you really get to admire the collaboration  between both of them, appreciating the art and fashion being showcased there.

Talking about the Atmosphere. 

It transformed a disused motorway undercroft in Hackney Wick into an arts venue and new public space. The natural lighting that comes in-between of the bridge reflect onto the main entrance of Folly gives a mood of solitude yet slowly unveiling the building which gave a dramatic first impression to the public as no one would expect it to be at this location. At the same time, it makes the public pound into curiosity and attention towards Folly.

By the day the folly will host a café, workshops, and events and boat trips exploring the surrounding waterway and at the night there will be screening from ranging from animation classics to early and experimental cinema with live scores, light shows, and performances.

Despite the space that it is located at, the atmosphere of Folly certainly has brought art and the people together into a forgotten area of the city and transforming it into a social space.

It will let the public appreciate the forgotten places like this around the cities.
