DS-Life Season 5: "Corner's House-Connor's Cabin" is a brand-new attempt at design. Through a story, I will explore some connections between the essence of design and life. This design model and concept draw lessons from architectural design elements and the image of "little man" in the book "1Q84" by spring village tree. Little story: There is a group of little people living in a corner of the home. They have the same work and rest as you. When you turn on the light, as long as you observe carefully, they will run from one room to another at every hour!

Design process:
At the beginning of this design, when I was a student, an old professor, teacher Shu, once asked us a question: why should the headlights of the car be designed at the front corner instead of other places? At that time, we answered many answers, such as better illuminating the front at the corners, and having a better vision, etc., but he gave us the answer: it is at the angle of the three sides, and the shape is the most difficult to deal with. The place, so putting the lamp in this position can cover the intersection of these three sides and make the overall shape more natural. At that time, I didn't care. After working, I slowly discovered that what was difficult was not excessive modeling, but meaning. The existence of this headlight was a meaning.

Looking back, the current home environment is all square, so there are many corners where three sides meet, and I think these places need some design. In order to beautify this corner in the early stage, I thought a lot of shapes, but after putting the pure shapes on it, I felt more abrupt and did not achieve the aesthetic feeling and concept effect I needed,

TIME MODE: "Little people" move from one room to another, and it is also easy to know the time.

Here I think of the concept of car headlights mentioned above. Isn't it good to install a lamp here? From this, I deeply realize how difficult it is to design the intersection of the three sides. The car can also adjust the three sides to adapt to the shape of the middle lamp. However, in this place, the three sides are straight. I feel that any curve will appear out of place in front of these three straight lines and difficult to handle, after a series of modeling drawings, I fell into a dry mind.

Just when I was not inspired to look for pictures, I happened to see some architectural design drawings, and suddenly found inspiration. This straight style is still a unique style of architecture, and the product should not be maverick at this time. Instead, it should cater to the overall environment. It is really good to make a small building in this place, just like small creatures live in it, at night, when you turn on the light, its room turns on, and when you rest, the light goes out.

This is suddenly associated with the element of the little man in the book "Spring Muraku 1Q84" (there may be a specific symbolic object in the book, which is only used as an image reference here). Although you can't see it, it is right beside you, and the corner you often stare at in a daze is its hiding place.
