Project Objective: To investigate layered field systems and generated infrastructures, establishing specific dialogues within each of the systems explored.
Project Description: Construct a set of drawings utilizing
the series of previous transformations, and through the use of the following
(4) terms:
INTERSECT
NEGOTIATE
Plus 2 additional words chosen from the word list
THE CUBE SECTION - INFRASTRUCTURE:
-2 Drawings:
1. Three Cubes –This first layer consists of the three sections of three
cubes from the previous project. They should be oriented on the sheet to allow
for the connection of certain ideas. Each cube should be the same dimension
and should not be smaller than 4"x4" and no larger than 6"x6".
2. Infrastructure- This second layer will establish relationships and juxtapositions
between the three cubes using strategic linear systems and stickyback to reinforce
these ideas.
OVERLAYED
SECTIONS – FIELD/ZONE/TERRITORY
-1 Drawing:
Three Sites- This will be constructed through the overlapping of three site
sections (Rinker Building, Music Building, and Architecture Atrium). Each
section should be scaled proportional to the page, although details/moments
within a section can be scaled to form another layer in the drawing.
Stickyback should be used to emphasize relationships between layers, proportions,
and other spatial systems. The stickyback should also be manipulated through
layering and through systematic cutting to emphasize void.
SECTION
OF THE SECTION – SECTION SPECULATION
-1 Drawing:
Two Sections- Construct a 18” section through the infrastructure drawing
and construct a 24” section through the territory drawing, intersecting
the two sections onto one drawing.
Each section should be 2” thick and consider the integration of linear
and zoning systems.
Project Objective: Materializing spatial investigations established into a compressed three-dimensional construct.
Project Description: Construct three (3) compressed three-dimensional
details from the interpretation of the previous exercises. Each physical construction
must be approximately 4”x6” and should be HIGHLY saturated with
ideas from retrospective investigations of your work and terms.
The connections between current and previous work should be illustrated and
described through a 2-3 page presentation (8.5”x11”- to be pinned
up).
Materials
of assembly are limited to Bristol (treated and untreated), plexiglass (treated
and untreated) and small painted basswood linear elements (one color ONLY)
employed as an infrastructural system.
Methods of Bristol treatment can include: stickyback; acrylic or watercolor
wash; and/or direct printing. Methods of Plexiglass can include: frosting/sanding;
acrylic painting; and/ or sticky back.
Linear elements are to be painted with acrylic paints before assembly (NO
SPRAYPAINTING!)
The infrastructure and planar systems should be spatial, systemic, and embody conceptually expressive terms that are applicable to your retrospective investigations. These considerations should apply to the entire construct and each material system independently.
INVADE, v: To encroach or intrude on; violate
INVOLVE, v: To wrap; envelop
DISSOLVE, v: To separate into component parts; disintegrate
Create a system that joins two of your three details together, using two of the terms above as a means of connection and interaction. This should be considered as one part of a whole, with the third moment being attached at a later time.
The system must serve as both infrastructure and zones as a context for your constructed moments. The boundaries of both armature and detail should not exceed 4” in the vertical dimension
Should
be constructed from whiteboard and basswood, in both linear and planar forms.
Point, line, plane, and mass should be interpreted into the constructing of
this armature in conjunction with the application of the terms given.
