Design Studio: PROJECT 2

The precedent study:


Inspired by the Greek and roman mythological god of blacksmiths,
metalworking and craftsmen; Hephaestus aka Vulcan, the ideal
representation of the god of construction is assembled on six major
symbols of power. As volcanoes played a main role as ancient forges
in Greek myths and indirectly symbolize the birthplace of crafts and
other constructions, the origins of this invented god of construction is
connected with active volcanoes. For that reason, the volcano is
considered as one of their primary insignias. Based on the myth of
Titan Prometheus granting the gift of fire to the mankind which
represents the commencement of the human evolution and also the
strong relation fire has with volcanoes and ancient forges, the element
of fire plays a major role in figurative depiction of this model deity.
The six key elements that are crucial in construction field; fire, earth,
metal, wood, tools and human labour, are dedicated and revolves
around this archetypal god of construction. To signify these six
fundamentals hexagon shaped structures are created, each side
demonstrating one elemental symbol.

The inspirations for the structure:

 For the outward


structure.
 Few layers of
hexagons shaped
frames of different
sizes will shape the
desired silhouette
of a volcano.
 Inspirations for the
blazing fire in the core
of the structure.

 For exterior
decoration on the
main frame.

 For the dais.
