3. The enjoyment of making
I consider Self-realisation,
function and recognition of
same; fundamental to the
wellbeing of any individual
and key to sustainability of
the team and the business.
We are all Entrepreneurs: It’s a Mindset
Setting a culture…
7. Charly Chaplin – Modern Times
Knowing why
“…the parts of
something are
intimately
interconnected
and explicable
only by reference
to the whole…”
Swallowed by the ‘machine’
Aministrative

PRESSURES
8. Digital transitionFrom camouflage to self identity
Echoes from the industrial revolution
Like the machines that
shrug off their domestic
encasements in pursuit
of their own language
‘the digital’ is trying to
free itself from the need
to imitate.
10. The Digital/creative process could be considered ‘distant’ - it will require expertise,
specialist knowledge which has the potential to remove the creator/originator away
from the direct making and intuitive sense of materials to the point that the digital
world is recreating itself whilst being disguised as being natural.
Digital barrier – when can we all step over the wall?

Camouflage has become identity
12. …we have run out of money; now
we have to think…
Sir Winston Churchill
13. now we have to think…
The recession intensified our use of digital
modelling, prototyping and production
techniques to cost effectively translate
creator ideas into physical reality.
19. Evolution within CSI…
Selected projects:
“On reflection - we have always been gravitating
towards the ‘new’ with focus on opportunity rather than
limits, driven by and with a sense of pride that comes
with delivering projects we have all come to identify
with…”
90. And - of course it is not always plain sailing…

Despite vast improvements in the last decade in modelling techniques in pursuit for user freedom the digital/creative process could be considered emotionally ‘distant’ i.e. it will require expertise, specialist knowledge which has the potential to remove the creator/originator away from the direct making and intuitive sense of materials to the point that the digital world is recreating it-self whilst being disguised as being natural.

Inspirational Concepts: The concept for Vertical Shell originated from part of an oyster shell discovered on the banks of the River Thames. The body of the structure is built almost entirely from aluminium, with a deep purple exterior intended to emphasise the contrast between the organic work and the surrounding architecture. When observed from the street, Vertical Shell appears almost solid, but as the viewpoint changes so does the density of the piece, becoming translucent and fragile as the viewer moves to the entrance
