Taking Form is an experiment series about how different materials behave when they are in a grid shape. Observing the projects by Superstudio and their critical way of looking at architecture and society, I took inspiration from ́supersurface” the grid blanket which they use in their projects covering buildings and objects or as the ground to visualize their distopic visions or utopian ideas. By applying the supersurface they challenged the way we perceive the built environment around us.
Starting the experiment with a closer look at the most simple grid and searching where is commonly used in everyday life (for example: fruit nets, safety net, fishing net, packaging, internet..). From the collection of created nets and collected flexible fruit nets to be fixed grid structures using different materials to keep the shape of the original object. The main focus is on how the grid follows the shape of the object but adds its own structure and therefore a new object is created.
