RELIQUARY PROJECT

For my Form and Structure class, we were assigned to design a reliquary (a container intended for holy relics). In this case, we would be the ones contained in it. As many of my friends know, I am a huge fan of television, but specifically sitcoms from the ‘70s and ‘80s. I thought that the best way to emulate my love for comedy would be to have my reliquary resemble a television that would sit in the living rooms of American families as they watched the sitcoms that I have come to love.

I did research on the designs of earlier models of television sets to look for inspiration. I made some sketches, and then transformed my sketches into this design in TinkerCAD.

The later design included a soundwave-looking speaker on the bottom right, and channel numbers on the upper dial.
