Parts From Wholes
This project aims to extract multiple logics from a singular whole. The object of choice was a plastic milk jug which was thoroughly analyzed and annotated in form. After analysis, the exercise is not to merely re-represent the object in its entirety, but hint at the underlying geometries of the form.
The mlik jug is somewhat asymmetrical, and is comprised of mainly two parts: patches and fillets. Patches are largely planar surfaces that take up most space on the jug; fillets are the latter, they attempt to bond the patches together and deal with the subtle complexities of the container.

The next step in the brief is to perform a "cut" and produce a pair of objects. From our previous observations, the cut we decided to make was to separate the complex from the simple. From there, manipulations were then performed to the fillets of the different sides to accentuate their elasticity.
