Just had crit session today for our major project this sem! Its for a heritage lamp using leds. Crit was pretty okay for most i guess and quite a good showcase i think. And LEDs are damn blooodddyy expensive!!! Some even go over 200 plus bucks just on LEDs alone.

And for mine, i explored on the origami heritage for application in lighting.... Some pics to savour. Its a painstaking folding process... =)


The finished lamp in its full glory.. lighted with LEDs... Pretty nice i think.

Hmm, i didnt really like how the bottom of the lamp turned out in the end... or in the case when its hanging as a pendant lamp, the top side... Kinda like a top eh.

The bottom view or when looking up at the lamp...

The cross- section of it...

Looks kinda like a flower in this pic... Soft and fluffy...

The inner photo of the lamp... I think it looks as nice inside as well...

A look at how many of those i folded... before i fix them up...

Joining the individual sections... I had a extremely headache with joining the different sections that were originally supposed to be made using opnly a piece of paper, which would solve all these headache.

4 Days and 4 Nights...

Sleep is precious they say...

An alternative variation that can be made as well... Just a different orientation of the folded sections.

I had backache while working with these... Seriously lots of work.

Looks nice as an architecture of some sort or a sculpture too...


Looking back at the heritage lamp, i think its quite amazing how everything is done in almost 4 days, not counting some less useful stuffs like researching, drawings etc that we are rqd to show almost every week... From purchasing of materials to planning to construction to panels... =)

And if there's anything that shows during this project, it's that i have lots of patience and determination man. And i always pick the harder route i guess. Haha.
