Abstract

The conceptual relationship explored is the comparison between this place “here” (A) and this place “there” (B).
Each place has specific characteristics that differentiate it from everywhere else. Perhaps most significantly of all, is geographical position; this place (here) and this (an)other place (here) are, by definition, in different locations. Inspired by research into mobile music, which allows for the creative process to take place anywhere, at any time, this paper explores the use of smartphones as a tool for 3D sketching ideas for ceramic vessels. For “In This Place”, the intention is to employ an innovative approach to design, utilising smartphone devices to gather and process location specific data to create a series of unique, singular forms. The resulting digital models can then be 3D printed. As well as exploring a new design process, this allows for a kind of collaboration, as users in different locations contribute to designing the complete series of vessels. Specifically, the aim is to reimagine a ‘pseudo Ming’ dynasty-era vase form, whereby the vessel has a central, vertical division. One half is redesigned by each user “here”, and becomes a unique redesign of the vessel, subtly different to all others designed in their own “here”.
