From Tony Cragg to the City of fORMen : The city of Forms
- Tony Cragg is a well known British
sculpture, who creates new forms from a
broad spectrum of material ranging from
plastics to bronze. Cragg has been the
collaborative partner for the city of
Formen, providing both inspiration
from the look, the techniques used to
create the city and the meaning behind
the creation of the city. -
-Creed began to not only create his own original forms
from scratch, but wanted to create forms that suggest movement, within “The non-utilitarian use of
itself. A key example of this idea was his piece that he created with a material is important.

piece was called Can-Can (2000) From this he then went on to Tony Cragg
painting and adding colour to his sculptures. When picking colours, he
usually sticks to the primary colours of blue, red and yellow, giving his
sculptures a brand-new fresh look. -
Blobitecture (also known as ‘blobism’) is a type of post-modern architecture. It is known as blobitecture due to
its rounded and curved structure. The style of the buildings are very organic and soft , coming together to
produce a complex structure.
The buildings created this way are mainly created by easily available source materials, that can usually be
found within nature.
In the 1960s, architects such as Archigram, and Buckminster Fuller were the first to design these unusual
buildings. Their designs unfortunately were far in advance of the architectural and technological capabilities
of the 60s.
However, later during the 1990s there was a rise in these architectural structures , with there being a craze
for buildings adopting a look that opted for unconventional geometric shape design, which were then made
possible by the technological advances resulting in a software that created Binary Large Objects.
I believe this style of architecture would definitely be something considered during the production of the city of
Formen, with its organically shaped architecture.
Pebble Architecture is very similar to blobitecture in the sense that all of its structures are very rounded and
soft. However, the shape of the architecture resembles that of pebbles. Whether this means one large
structure shaped as a pebble, or a building conducted of various different pebble shaped structures.
Once again this style of architecture is very organic looking, similar to what I would want the city of Formen to
include within its architecture.
