Musaab and Marcus, just to get the ball rolling, here are some images of a sketch model.
- Exaggerating the layers and bringing in the process of weaving.
- Exaggerating the layers and bringing in the process of weaving.
- Playing with the idea of scale (at the moment the idea of scale is represented by the layers of exaggeration but this definitely needs further development).
- Suggestion: maybe we can create different shapes and scales of objects to scatter on some of the hills and valleys of the model (not to dominate but to emphasize the idea of the umbrella – as a dividing layer between the user and the environment).
Let me know what you think.

Hi Musaab and Sana! Hope both of you've had a nice holiday.
Sana: nice start!
Some confused thoughts: What do you think about rotating the model so that the "divider" is vertical instead? Or maybe diagonal? Maybe that could be a way to emphasize the two sides, like the sides of a wall or a screen. Or is it important to keep the horizontality for the idea of the umbrella? Like a roof... (I'm just thinking out loud here, maybe it's a really bad idea)
Maybe the two sides should differ more, to emphasize the different qualities (beneath and above the umbrella)?
I will also try to post some sketches soon - pictures say much more than my words just did.
I would also like to add that I think it could be a good idea that we all write down our thoughts here, without considering if they are good or bad. Just sharing and let things develop.
Talk to you soon. Cheers!
Musaab: just posting a comment I sent in an e-mail to Sana, regarding her sketches.
My comment: it could be interesting to add some focus on the "sphere" of the umrella, emphasising that it is a sort of container or something that cuts through space (as you said, a dividing layer). That would also bring the non-electron scale qualities of the umbrella into the model... It could be explored in the way you suggested, and maybe also through trying to shape the model as a whole... Just a thought. Looking at your sketches, it feels like one step to take could be to "take control" over the shapes, but of course still try to keep the exaggerated flows.
