Andrea Forment

I was born in the 90’s, in Barcelona.I always grew close to my family, lear-ning of a father who sowed the force in me and a mother who throughout the years, has been showing me the nice things of life by means of her major fort, patience.

The natural talent which I’ve always carried inside; the capacity of creation, was what brought me to study design. One day during my childhood an amazing teacher that I had in college dedicated me these words which I will never forget “Do not decline if you fail in the dull ones, inside of you the art shines, you have the capacity of de-veloping wonderful things”; obviously he was my art teacher, who else could understand be me better?

From experience you learn; and I have been lucky to develop my knowledge in the privileged design school Elisava. There I’ve learned the necessary tools to be able to create something physi-cal of what was initially a simple idea. By means of the push of big profes-sionals and my own capacities in de-

sign I am now capable of developing my knowledge and skills in a future professional world.

When designing I depart from the simple things, because for me less is always more. The minimalist or simple style often does not mean little. By designing spaces I have learned that the beautiful things are among our-selves, we only have to be able to see them, appreciate them and be able to construct from them.

My aptitude to conceive new projects is instinctive, as a designer I must un-derstand the existing thing, be able to change the identity of the space and integrate new personality in it.

After the knowledge I received in Elisava, I have tilted towards the ephe-meral projects, expositions or events, where this idea of the transformation of the space is seen. Provided next is my work. which by means of dedi-cation and effort I have achieved to accomplish.

1. EXPERIMENTAL VIDEORiggoletto; Giuseppe Verdifor El Liceu de Barcelona

Audiovisual Design

Rigoetto is a drama witch contains passion, insincerity, revenge and love.

We have decided to focus on the role the woman takes in this story. This tale goes around Gilda, the daughter of Rigoletto and lover of the Duque. Throughout the story we can see how she is being manipulated without being able to decide for herself what is done to her life. Translating this famous aria “La donna e mobile” we can clearly see how the women are represented in Verdi´s piece.

Woman is flighty like a feather in the wind. She changes her voice and her mind. Always sweet pretty face, in tears or laughter she is always lying.

Our aim to this project was trying to reflect this idea of the woman as an object to the viewer. Although the tale has already more than 200 years of history, we believe this idea is something that we still

see now a day. We brought this idea to the fashion world, more properly to a model’s life, or what we believe it might be so.

The short video begins with this mo-del showing its pure essence,as she is naturally, and how this one is being manipulated and changed by someone else’s hands, loosing its essence. The close up views of her being changed mixed with fast flas-hes, which represent her true feelings, are seen throughout the video; awaking her thoughts and lea-ving her with no aims to continue.

The essence of this project was deve-loping a design for a weather applica-tion. For it to be productive, a study about technological interaction was done. In order for it to be a good appli-cation design for an ipad disposal.

The final project was the simulation of three different windows of an appli-cation, each one of them following similar a graphic line, which had to be intuitive and easy for the user.

It had to contain a logo of the app, a map and a window which could show the weather conditions for a whole week. All of these had to have an ac-curate animation do to the interaction with the user, therefore it had to be as real as possible. with this project, not

only did I learn the specific techni-ques to animate an app but also the necessary design techniques when designing an application for an ipad disposal. Ending up with a simulation which represented the exact move-ment the user would do when using the application.

Next is a recompilation of screenshots of the simulation representing the usa-bility of the weather application.

Through this project we have wanted to convey different sensations through the spaces where the killer lives, whether their cells or their homes, and spaces where the killer acts, such as bathrooms, hotels, or many times also their own homes.

Throughout the exhibition the visitor can see the different rooms with very different environments, trying to transmit the murderer’s space. As well space where the visitor finds real cases that have been inspiration to serial killer films, as in the case of Ted Bundy, Ed Gein, Albert Fish, characters that have become famous un the U.S because of the brutal murderers they committed.

This mixture of real cases and movies shows how the line between real life and unreality, is closer than we may imagine. That is why Homicidium aims to elicit in the viewer an approach based on the surrealism our current society lives, as well as the ambiguity of our behaviors and trials.

The design of each room represents a different environment, making the visitor live each sensation as if it were real. By the means of choosing the most adequate light and materials a handful of sensations were brought to the visitor, transforming the space into a space of murderer, a space of a serial killer.

The aim of this project was to create new stairs for the Palau de Gel in Bar-celona, replacing the stands that are currently in front of the bar area into new ones.

One of the main goals was to make it dynamic and harmonious, for its creation I started making 2D patterns by repeating a pattern with Rhinoce-ros. Starting from the choice of the most interesting proposal, I developed a series of three dimensional surfaces and adapted them to the stands of El Palau de Gel.

Finally, after choosing the surface, I divided and fragmented the surface in order to make a laser conceptual model.

The result was the creation of an interesting long stans proposal which could also be used as a bar on the up-per level, or for sit down and laying on it. As a result it could give the Palau de Gel of F.C.B a new and more good loo-ping version of their previous stands.

This project was developed after a de-tailed observation and analysis of the Berceloneta beach. First of all I had to recognize some of the problems occu-rring in public spaces. Due to the lack of some public spaces used for beach users in Barcelona, the purpose of this project was developed.

The idea was designing a space that had to do with the world of public and exterior places design.

The idea of this project was the crea-tion of a space where the user could to interact with the environment, a place for urban spaces. The initial idea was creating a space by the use of raw materials.

The creation was a multifunctional peace where is user could feel comfor-table and freely decide what they considered was the best way to use it.

Given that it was for day use only, spe-cifically used during the hours people go to the beach, it was designed for showering, having cold lunch and re-laxing. The peace was for sitting, laying down, or even standing above. It is the user who chooses to satisfy its needs with it.

The project has to do with the creation of a bar, a space for consumers which could be used for both day and night.

The initial objective was creating a wide and open space with bright natural light. The idea of a peaceful atmosphere was created by incorpo-rating natural toned colors The focus was the use of organic material in all the environment. I accomplished a simple but elegant space with he use of pure elements in all senses.Down stairs a show cooking bar was designed which has become the icon to our environment, making it one of the most important spaces in our res-taurant. this was designed with a well looking but functional intention.

Since the bar disposed of two diffe-rent floors, the initial idea was creating two different environments; therefore the option of creating a dynamic

space on the ground floor, incorpora-ting a mixture of different chairs and tables designs was the result, making the space unique for the visitors. In the other side, a more relaxing atmosphere was created in the upper floor, desig-ning a space with sofas and more of a social lounge corner.

All of the project was also linked in with all its graphic applications which maintained a visual line with the rest of the design, making the graphic application on the restaurants wall the icon to all of it.
