AccretionAccretion� is an increase in size of a design plate by
addition of material along a convergentboundary.
SubtractionSubtraction� The act of subtraction is the cutting out of
shapes and design

� Before designing you must consider themost significant association in design:
� The Figure Ground

La DS byGabriel Orozco
In La DS - artistGabriel Orozcoremoves a 25-inch wide slicealong the centerof a Citroen DS.By renderingthis mass-produced carsleeklyobsolete, heforces itinto becomingan art object.
Skeleton Key CD by StefanSagmeister
A designed CD package forSkeleton Key's FantasticSpikes via Balloon recordis punched with a grid ofholes.The rare designrepresents the text andimages which conveysstrong reaction.
U.S. Air Force Stealth Bomber
The B-2 Spirit Stealth Bomber is created for low observability becauseof the reduced infrared, acoustic, electromagnetic, visual, and radarsignatures.
Self-SustainingTable by Ralph Ball
The legs of thisSelf-SustainingTable is replacedwith four spray-bottles comprised ofa generic glasscleaner. Cleaning isactually a part of thetable which no onehave ever thoughtabout it before.
HEstory by Vladimir Chaica
Subtractionist Vladimir Chaica creates countless variations of a humanface drawn with only four short straight lines. He covers some of thelines with circles to expose the essential experience of each season.

Your design must contain a light bulb
Submission RequirementsSubmission RequirementsYour task is to design;
2 cubes side by side [one must have thesubtraction elements (A) and the otherside should be the accretionelements(B)]
Your design must be sustainable whichis the elements that have beeneliminated in the subtraction cube (A)should be included as a design in theaccretion cube (B).
The cubes should contain the light bulb
Must use white mounting board for thewhole design. Include a transparencyglued to the frame of cube (B).
