This is my architectonic lamp. For this project I decided to try for something very unique and more difficult to make than my previous project. I drew inspiration from the marker's shape that is in the Dead Space franchise. You can see that image below.
I created two separate spiral shapes in rhino. I twisted each around a central axis and inverted one. After that I made sure to hollow out the center with an inverted cone. this would allow for the cord and bulb to fit snugly. I made sure that the bottom hole was one inch in diameter so that the base of the lamp would fit well. You can see my base model below.
The next few steps took me the longest. I had to repeat the slicing part of this project four or five times to get a shape I was pleased with. The first time I also made the pipes to large and had to come back and edit the slots.
And here below is my lamp cut and assembled. It turned out much better than I had expected with its unusual shape. It was difficult to piece together much like a puzzle.
In keyshot I choose to use a glossy black plastic material. I wanted the lamp to look ominous and the black color goes back to the inspiration I took from Dead Space. With the sharp corners and spiral shapes black makes the lamp look ominous.
