    • Involved nature for his randomizer. Gravity takes action on loosely placed memo so it falls from its placement. The fallen memo is then realised to give rediscovery of an old idea regardless of time it was created.

    • Liked how laser cutting was used to reinforce his ideas. Creating a scroll holder that is made of MDF, White paint and Laser cutter he was able to deliver the efficiency and storage of his memos. Prioritising functions over aesthetics. However the collection and the arrangements of the individual scroll and its holder gave a flower garden like atmosphere in the space.

    • The choice of using such medium (butter paper) as a scroll delivered this warm sensation by diffracting the light that comes in from the window.


    • I think that the weaving of his idea where the instalment of design goes around the columns of the space has complicated his simple and elegant design. The simplicity behind his design was enough to show gained understanding.

    • The poster and the model were able to bring out the most essential parts of his design ideas and explanation.

  2. Dearest Pruek,

    I commend you on your extrememly charming and intruiging design, along with your in-depth analysis and decision making through-out your development process.

    I liked how you ran with your initial inspiration of the post-it note, staying true to the medium of paper, and it's qualities.

    The intention for your "trash-can" had a very personal spin on a "conventional" idea container, with the purpose of gaining a sense of self/identity when required, as well as a deep link to the past, and using that within itself as an inspiration.

    I applaud you for experimenting with different types of paper and noting their individual connotations (for example, translucent paper creating a softer, dream-like glow within the space and creating diffused light and giving different perspectives of the same object), and furthermore deciding that "colour-coding" the different types of paper withing your trash-can would be too predictable and would not work with your concept.

    The quote you came up with "We don't control them, they control us" really struck a chord with me (sent a shiver down my spine!), and I loved that any given scrolls of paper could fall off at any given time, creating an element of randomness and a determination of fate (by reading a scroll that we never would have otherwise if it had not fallen down).

    You considered your trash-can concept on a practical level as well, and you really put thought into what would work with your room and what wouldn't, particular in terms of lighting and how to link the indoors with the outdoors via intertwining with the window framing.

    With saying that I believe the utmost potential of your project could have been fufilled if you had pushed yourself even further to come up with a solution the indoor/outdoor issue, bringing your stunning project into it's well deserved three dimensions.

    Regards,Antonia ;)

  3. Hey there Pruek! I'll have to start from scratch ):

    - Overall I really liked the idea of being able to write down your idea however big or small it was, right before you slept. I liked how accesible it was for anyone to write down any idea and just pin it up (as long as you worked in the room with the wall). Because of the easy accessibility, it would spur idea growth, because any idea would be pinned up on the wall.
    - I liked the use of the laser cut, and it incoporates and wraps the paper nicely.
    - As pointed out in the crit, the only annoying thing for me would be trying to combine and read the 2 ideas, just because of the paper being rolled up and not being flat, however, that could be sorted out with a paperweight, so i'm not too fussed about it.
    - The consideration of gravity was clever idea, and seems like you're leaving it to "fate" so to speak. Very good randomisation factor with having paper the same colour, but I wonder if there could have been a development of a method of somehow randomising them (because they're situated in a grid system). That can may be a development if re-looked at again.
    - Good consideration of where it can be situated (on a window), good act like blinds and have a very nice filtering effect with the sun.

    That's all from me, good luck for your next project :D
