Nanotechnology will Revolutionise Design in the 21st Century

Posted on August 21, 2018November 30, 2018

For those unfamiliar with it, Nanotechnology is the manipulation of matter on an atomic, molecular, Nanotechnology came into it’s own at the turn of the 21st century when it became possible to actively and intentionally modify molecules and structures within the atomic, molecular and supramolecular scale, and it is the control of matter at the nanometre scale that distinguishes nanotechnology from other areas of technology. Nanotechnology is bridging the gap between science fiction and fact. Using nanotechnology scientists and engineers can now manipulate structures in the nanometre scale and use them in the design, production and application of new materials that can be used in building structures, devices and systems and the novel properties of nanomaterials offer a brave new world of technological breakthroughs in an array of industries including medicine, architecture, environmental science and aeronautics.  As we discover more about the possible uses of nanotechnology, cutting edge designers in every imaginable field will begin to explore what we can do with this technology that we could not do before, to solve many of the critical problems that we face today. Nanotechnology is already being applied in many fields including the manufacturing of consumer goods, medicine and environmental science. There is absolutely

Tessellate repeating pattern for Phoenix Design Week

Posted on February 24, 2015November 15, 2016
Although I wouldn’t label all of my work as minimalist, it is heavily informed by many of the same principles. Perhaps this comes from my background in graphic design. I appreciate the elegance of minimalism in the same way an engineer would appreciate the simplicity and efficiency of a well-designed machine with no redundant or extraneous parts. However, minimalism seems to be a style that many people don’t get. Some may view it as purely esoteric, but I also wonder if people mistake simplicity for lack, failing to see just how much artistry actually goes into a concise composition solution. Minimalist art is not the same as abstract art, but they do have areas of overlap. Since I’ve previously written much on the subject of abstraction, I’ll try to avoid repeating similar concepts. This post is the first of a two-part series that I hope will offer some insight into the craftsmanship and creativity that goes into paring down a composition of all nonessential components, particularly within the medium of photography. I hope to convince you of the elegance of a reductionist approach to composition, and that achieving simplicity takes much more finesse than you might expect.
