1. Kinetics and "exotic" materials like carbon fiber are things I have been interested in exploring in architectural design. I was especially drawn to items like the aluminum die used to produce the Ty Nant water bottle. It should be possible to construct a structure with the tolerances of a luxury or sports car and the dynamism of one of Lovegrove's pieces of furniture.
