Angie- There seem to be some very productive threads here.
How would you apply the notion of unraveling and rebuilding to a site? a city?
The process you used to to design the site plan and the canopy produced interesting results, how would you describe it? or turn it into a thesis statement?
Angie, as usual, this is a very nice post! I especially appreciate the fact that you show us the steps of the process in the form making....One thing that I would like to offer as a suggestion is to go back to image 1 and image 2 and create 5 different volumetric or form possibilities from each of them. One rule I would suggest is that at least two of those different possibilities need to venture in section before plan...the second rule is that you consider using the same base material and change its scale, regardless of plan or section. It's entirely possible that by exploring the limits of scale in these kinds of abstract drawings you might discover or create a methodology...but you have to try things in multiple ways to encapsulate more possibilities so you can decide what is right....or, to assess and choose which one to move forward from.
Mike is right, time to try to write a thesis statement! It's going to be hard (we know) so don't wait to post, you can just email us your first attempts and we can work on it together....
