Material Totems





Material Totems 2022Material: Steel Flat Bar (Found) Process: MIG 
The creation of these totems signifies the start of the design process. As the designer works with the material, they gain a deeper appreciation. They understand the essence of the metal as it is transformed through the work process, such as changes in colour, shape, and, ultimately, the energy required to reshape. 
The architectural modelling process is often wasteful; digging through skips and visiting construction sites brings a greater appreciation for waste generated and embeds this awareness into the design process.
