Exercise 7 | Architectural Bay Study

In this architectural bay study of the Linear Gallery, I analyzed the proportion of the bay unit and its relationship to the placement of the the main gallery.

Mid-Term Poster

This project combines the various processes from the initial analysis, illustrating how the “a” transforms into a diagonal grid pattern by rotating the character about its found radial axis at the baseline of the text to form the circles analyzed within the original typeface. The 2D pattern evolves into a 3D digital model translation highlighting the forms and spaces created in the model by varying the heights and surface styles to create contrast within digital model’s atmosphere.  The final images use various levels of transparency to further illustrate the analytical principles within the text and the model.

Exercise 6 | Analytical Translation Revision

This step takes a new approach to analyzing the translation of the original 2D source to the final 3D digital model.  The model was further developed to showcase the forms and spaces created in the model by varying the heights and surface styles to create contrast within digital model’s atmosphere.  The final images use various levels of transparency to further illustrate the analytical principles within the text and the model. Relating similar principles of exploration from the previous exercises. The lowered perspective view of the model works to illustrate the varying dimensions of depth at a human scale, blending from a line drawing to a rendered drawing.  The model/wireframe synthesis at the top left illustrates the volume of the model itself in relation to its structure.  There is also another level of analysis of how the “a” transforms into a diagonal grid pattern by rotating the character about its found radial axis at the baseline of the text to form the circles analyzed within the original typeface.

Exercise 5 | Representation

In this exercise, I analyzed the layering properties of the grid created by the previous unit, highlighting the further relationship between void to figure.  The perception of layering becomes translated from 2D to 3D from overlapping and varying depth and height of interior figures versus exterior figures.
