At The Cutting Edge
Posted by: Kootch on 22nd Jun 2010 in Creative Report
Rich Gilbert's work typifies the talent and design energy to be found among the RCA's double masters graduates this year. Thats a Royal College of Art (MA) and Imperial College London (MSc) together. I've had the privilege of working with Rich and his peers, in that exciting territory where design meets cutting edge technology and engineering.
Rich's work includes the world's first 3D webcam (pictured), a solution to the problem of hand hygiene in hospitals and a 'ruthless lime-crushing monster' that is the coolest caipirinha maker you've ever seen.
More work and some great images are to be seen here.
Other work:
SuperFoam:
An experiment in redesigning natural structures. SuperFoam is a re-creation of naturally occurring reticulated foam structures through a casting process that facilitates designing the properties of the foam itself. By developing the casting process the properties of the foam could be controlled so the chair flexed and deformed to create a supportive structure.
Eggup:
A collaboration with Adam Paterson and Christina Biliouri, Eggup is an egg timer with a difference. By using Shape Memory Alloys that are activated by the heat of the steam eggup lifts the egg out of the water when it's finished cooking. Perfect eggs every time...
Some images of the development process and the final product:
