Connections exist between so many things in the context of the environment, society and culture and the desire to connect, disconnect or reconnect is often key to designers' decisions. Connection can be explored in the physical sense as designs offer connections between places and objects. The importance of social connection between people is undeniable, with a range of psychological and even physical benefits. There are also areas of social interaction where disconnecting can be beneficial and instances where there is a need to reconnect. In an increasingly globalised and digital world, connection is easier than ever but there are many people who seek more and more to disconnect. The importance of disconnection can be just as vital in maintaining a healthy psychological and physical health. The disconnection from nature in an urban setting is a connection that many designers seek to restore using a variety of innovative solutions. In a cultural sense, there are many connections to explore – the connection between different cultures; the connection between cultural diaspora; the cultural disconnect created by an increasingly Western and homogenised1 society and the desire for many to reconnect with their cultural heritage. When approaching this theme, one must ask: What is being connected, disconnected or reconnected? What is the reason for this and what is the designer's role in this regard? 1 make uniform or similar.

He is recognized for his interactions with global corporations, commitment to social issues, and cultural knowledge. His designs demonstrate a deep understanding of belonging, compelling stories, and inspiring discussion on social concerns. THE NINEVITES The Ninevites is a studio that tells stories of black culture & unheard voices of age-old traditions in a present-day context. Their textiles are meticulously handcrafted by artisans within the Cape & Lima using 100% South African-grown mohair & Peruvian sheep wool. Empowered by their craftsmanship, these artisans hand spin & dye the raw fiber using techniques to guarantee remarkable quality & durability. They create opulent objects. Imaginative designs Featuring textures created to be touched. This is an ode to the “black aesthetic”. Their goal is also to tell a story about ancient customs within a contemporary setting. The Ninevites Studio believes in women's empowerment, women's collaboration, and the preservation of cultural heritage. It does this by gathering threads from across the continent and weaving them into one exquisite story. Some of the functions that the Ninevites include the following … to bridge tradition and modernity. their choices of bold geometric patterns inspired by African basketry, pottery, murals, and these designs celebrate heritage while balancing modern trends and Honoring Cultural Narratives. This studio celebrates the richness and beauty of “black culture “. They believe that it is important to amplify tales of centuries-old traditions into a modern era, offering stories that uphold craftsmanship and legacy. Materials include natural mohair used in Ninevites' fabrics comes from South Africa. Mohair is a luxury natural fiber that is highly valued for its warmth, durability, softness, and insulating qualities. In addition to mohair, artisans make use of wool from Peruvian sheep. The textiles obtain their warmth, texture, and color through this wool. They transform raw fiber into thread by hand, applying thousands of years old techniques. With precise consideration and care to detail, the artisans spin the fiber into yarn. The rich scheme of colors in these textiles is accomplished by the talented artisans working with old methodologies to dye the raw material. There are various methods performed to ensure that the textiles are durable and of the highest quality. Aesthetic decisions that have been made include , Hand-drawn lines give an organic and tactile touch by imitating threads. In comparison with the rigid grid structure, these lines provide dynamic tension. The design has a modern appearance due to hand-drawn grids and lines. The lines capture the attention of the viewer, which promotes the flow and attention of the visual. The placement of the color scheme is used to influence the viewer's perspective on the design. The vivid shades found in the textiles add to the brand's aesthetic appeal. As the color prompts emotion, culture, and identity, its influence has a direct influence on aesthetic decisions. The striking colors reflect the brand's ideology while emphasizing the materials' richness. Ninevites relate to the theme of disconnect , connect and reconnect as the studio aims to share stories of black culture and unheard voices, reconnecting to past stories that may go unnoticed. 4 contextual terms that are presented here include … globalization : The Ninevites connects different cultures and traditions by incorporating globalization into its design. They carefully create textiles using mohair from South Africa and sheep wool from Peru. the human right to equal treatment : A comprehensive brand system subtly conveys equal treatment. Hand-drawn elements imitate threads, contrasting with the rigid grid system. The brand mark, inspired by a loom and an opened rug, holds imagery while showcasing the product's vibrant brightness. urban acupuncture : this concept is reflected through hand-drawn elements contrasting with a rigid grid system, creating a sense of naturalness and rawness. equitable access : equitable access is reflected through the use of handcrafted textiles by artisans in South Africa and Peru. FEARLESS In this installation, a wide range of features related to crime and violence in South Africa are portrayed in large wooden sculptures, such as knives, weapons, handcuffs, and police sirens. All of which are associated with crime and violence in South Africa. The sharp contrast of these artworks’ black paint job with the exhibition space's white walls is striking. Exploring the effects of crime and fear on South African citizens and how it impacts people's daily lives The project encourages viewers to reflect on how they see these items and their significance for justice and security. The designer intends to raise awareness about what happens in South Africa, therefore violence and crime are looked into in an engaging way in this exhibition. Law enforcement and criminals both have taken advantage of firearms and other weapons they have used in their unlawful actions. The initiative intended to attract awareness to the underlying paranoia and widespread violence that shapes South Africans' daily routines. They intended to transform the way people perceive these objects in their everyday lives by making them more than just works of art. but a reminder of the reality that South African citizens face. The function of the design is to educate people about crime in South Africa by using objects like guns and knives that are often associated with criminal activities. This helps them understand the seriousness and intimidation of the problem. Additionally, the design helps individuals cope with their fears about crime by creating a safe space for them to confront their fears and express their emotions. By incorporating various items, the design represents the harsh reality of life in South Africa. Each item carries a symbolic meaning that reflects the country's ongoing struggle with crime. For example, a police radio symbolizes safety, while a broken bottle represents violence. Overall, the design aims to inspire individuals to take action and address the issue by making it more tangible and relatable. The artists crafted these sculptures by skillfully shaping wooden blocks into weapons and crime- related items found in South Africa. They used laser cutting and CNC ( computer numerical control ) routing techniques to achieve the sculptures' sharp and geometric forms. Then the sculptures were carefully put together and attached to wooden panels/metal frames, resulting in an eye-catching final design. To further strengthen the visual impact and effect , the designers incorporated lighting and shadows into their artwork. The sculptures have a smooth and wooden texture and material, which is different from the rough and metallic nature of the objects they show. This makes the sculptures absurd and ironic because they are made of harmless and natural materials but represent harmful and artificial objects. The sculptures are bigger than the objects they represent, making them more threatening and intimidating. The design has clean and sharp lines and edges., which could be seen as a reflection of the harsh realities they represent. FEARLESS relates to the theme of disconnect , connect and reconnect as the design connects between viewers and the harsh reality of crime in South Africa. The objects disconnect from their original function and purpose as they are enlarged and turned into artworks. they aimed to give new meaning to everyday objects by turning them into artworks, creating a sense of reconnection. 4 contextual terms that are presented here include … challenging stereotypes : " is examined through the items in this design are representations of firearms and other things used in South African crimes. The artists aim to redefine these items' significance in our daily lives by transforming them into pieces of art and focusing on our fixation with violence and casual fear. design co-operatives : Daniel Ting Chong and Jordan Metcalf's collaborative project, FEAR.LESS showcases the concept of "design cooperatives" by depicting weapons and tools associated with criminal activities in South Africa. social development : By redesigning items connected to these problems in a meaningful and creative way, the artists seek to counteract fear and crime in South Africa. transformative education : The concept of transformational education is shown through The objects, which symbolize weapons and crime in South Africa. They are given a new context as artworks. This new perspective aims to analyze our society's fixation on violence and casual fear, encouraging viewers to rethink the significance of these items in our daily existence. INTERNATIONAL DESIGNER : NERI OXMAN Neri Oxman, also known as Nature's Architect, combines culture and nature in her design method called Material Ecology. By integrating computation, fabrication, and material properties, she develops projects that connect biology, technology, and art. Her work not only enhances nature but also benefits humanity, establishing her as a valuable contributor to social design. AGUAHOJA Standing five meters tall, this design is a pavilion. AGUAHOJA, which translates to "water leaf" in Spanish, is the title given to the project's water-based biopolymers. Plants, animals, and humans all include cells known as biopolymers. These biopolymers are formed into various shapes inspection and testing components for the project, including pavilions, sculptures, skins, and digital techniques. Furthermore, these biopolymers' potential contact with heat, humidity, light, and water is assessed. Through designing things that can naturally evolve and decompose, this design illustrates how humans can function in harmony with the environment. When designing AGUAHOJA, designer Neri Oxman wanted to explore the possibilities of using natural materials to construct biodegradable and adaptable designs. She has intended to demonstrate how we can cooperate with nature, not against it, in design, by focusing on the things that can grow, change, and decompose by natural cycles. she strives to challenge the conventional usage of plastic as well as other man-made materials that are damaging to the environment and people's health. AGUAHOJA serves as an example of how science, technology, and the arts can be combined to make the planet more sustainable and eco-friendly. AGUAHOJA's main function is to provide an environmentally friendly substitute for plastic. Through the process of developing biopolymer composites with adaptable strength, appearance, smell, and even taste, it intends to destroy the environmentally damaging waste process. Eco- friendly plastics can be developed to naturally decompose into smaller pieces and recycle themselves, which makes an effective utilization of natural resources. AGUAHOJA uses the following materials … Cellulose: The basic component of plants and other vegetation, cellulose originates from plant tissue. This makes up over half of all plant matter on Earth. Chitin: An adaptable material, chitin can be found in the exoskeletons of bugs and crustaceans. It looks like clear thin dragonfly wings and supple fungal cells. Pectin: Another substance that naturally occurs utilized by the project; pectin is normally found in apple skins. Calcium Carbonate: A mineral compound that adds to the overall structure of the material. The design uses the following techniques for its production… Water-Based Digital Fabrication: Water-based digital construction techniques are utilized in the AGUAHOJA project. Precise material forming and layering are made achievable by these techniques. 3D Printing: using 3D printing technology to create the biomaterials (chitin, cellulose, calcium carbonate, cornstarch, and pectin). Natural Pigments: Natural pigments are incorporated into the materials. These pigments are used to enhance the composite materials' appearance and beneficial traits. The use of organic shapes and patterns found in biological systems, like those found in human bones, insect exoskeletons, and tree branches. The complex patterns and geometry of the designs show how the materials' molecular structure and environmental adaptations. Dimension and contrasting colors are achieved through the use of color, gradients, and translucent effects. depending on the chemical structure and production conditions, the Bio composites can display a variety of optical properties, producing different shades of red, green, yellow, and brown. Furthermore, some of the structures' elements are semi-transparent or translucent, enabling light to cast shadows. relates to the theme of disconnect , connect and reconnect as AGUAHOJA disconnects away from plastic materials that damage the environment. Plastic waste is a threat to the environment, but AGUAHOJA chooses to use organic materials instead. 4 contextual terms that are presented here include … info access : Oxman shares information about biodegradable materials to help other designers make responsible choices when selecting materials. social connectivity : social connectivity is shown using bio-composite materials that are dependent on the environment. These materials connect the separation among built environments and the natural world by responding to heat and humidity and decomposing back to the earth's structure. Social development : is shown in multiple ways. The project's main goals include biodegradability, environmental adaptability, and sustainable material choices that have decomposing as a key feature. AGUAHOJA advocates a balanced approach to design that includes consideration of both social and ecological impacts by using biopolymer composites developed from natural materials, focusing on decomposition, and adapting to environmental conditions. equitable access : is emphasized through sustainable material choices, intentional decay, programmable Bio composites, and exhibitions in public spaces. MANNAHATTA MANNAHATTA is a project by Neri Oxman, it envisions a nature-inspired version of Manhattan. Using computers and machines, the project creates models of different areas in the city where plants, animals, and people coexist in harmony. It pays as a reminder of Manhattan's cultural diversity and history, once known as MANNAHATTA, meaning "land of many hills," and home to the Lenape people ( “The Lenape Indians, also known as the Delaware Indians, were one of the earliest Native American tribes to live in what is now the northeastern United States” ). The design is based on a computer simulation that imagines Manhattan covered in nature instead of buildings, utilizing data from both the past and the future to create a realistic and diverse landscape. Neri Oxman’s intention when designing MANNAHATTA was to explore the connections between the construction environment and the natural world and to present a vision of a future city that is in unity with the natural environment. She was prompted by Manhattan’s pre-1600s natural environments when the island was residence to the Lenape people and known as Mannahatta (‘land of many hills’) made up of a diverse, natural landscape of hills, valleys, forests, fields, wetlands, salt marshes, and streams. She used computer simulation and growth patterns to transform the urban setting into a scenic environment that is formed by sunlight, airflow, and water. Through this project, Oxman intended to design a nature-centric design that balances the needs of the city’s residents and the environment. Functions MANNAHATTA includes to bring together the layout of the city with the surrounding natural environment by creating the cityscape according to patterns of soil erosion, growth, and other aspects using computer simulations. This approach improves the city's response to environmental changes and protects the surrounding area. The second function is utilizing plants and artificial fibers to create a self-sustaining system that will supply community, shelter, food, and power, and fulfill the changing demands of residents in the context of climate change. This approach promotes biodiversity, minimizes its negative effects on the environment, and increases resilience. MANNAHATTA uses the following materials… Silk: an organic fiber produced from silkworms that can be woven and mixed with living silkworms to produce a structure for textiles. Synthetic optical fibers: Artificially made optical fibers can carry light and data, forming a network underground to connect the main parts of the city. techniques used to create MANNAHATTA include… “Tiling behavior and digital anisotropy”: This is a technique that can be used to digitally create and put together essential pieces into complicated shapes. Anisotropic structures are created by the tiles' varying qualities based on alignment and layout, which enables them to change according to their environment. Material pixels: the idea of using discrete material elements with adjustable color, texture, and shape adaptations. using the material pixels, It can create flexible and adaptable structures that can transmit information or connect with the environment. The project aims to reconnect us with ecosystems, urging architects, designers, and urban planners to think about how their creations can peacefully coexist with nature. This includes incorporating green spaces, sustainable materials, and ecological systems into urban design. 4 contextual terms that are presented here include … equitable access : The MAN-NAHĀTA project envisions Manhattan as a bridge connecting the built environment with nature, promoting equal access to green spaces and questioning the exclusivity commonly linked to urban development. urban acupuncture : This project sees Manhattan as a connection point between the cityscape and the natural world. Oxman's method is in line with urban acupuncture, suggesting specific tactics for revitalization. social development : It is presented through Reimagining Manhattan's future shows social development, it subtly embraces social development. the transition from an urban layout to a distributed environmental setting, and an approach to the future that encourages connection between humans and the environment. transformative education : The biotic gardens and Manhattan's urban grid are connected by methods that embody the concept of transformational education. It envisions a development that ages, decomposes, and then returns, resonating with the environment over many decades.
