Neri Oxman completed med school at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and later on ventured to London to get a degree from the Architectural Association School of Architecture. She isn’t so much on architecture and design, she states that their revolution lies on the surface.
‘Forget about the way it looks, think about how it behaves’
Neri Oxman herself.

Her work is more on material ecology, and studies how the material reacts, in a way to suite the need of people. To produce a different kind of design is to start thinking and looking also at material in a different way.
This video shows Oxman speaking about designing form. At some point she states 'What does a material want to be?' The only reason that a chair is of a certain design is because we have decided it should be this way, but what if we look at what the material can do and give us, what if we take it to its limits?
An incredibly intelligent human creature
ReplyDeleteI actually had to watch the video twice, to start understanding what she was trying to say.
