The goal of this project was not made clear from the beginning. This studio project was an incremental progression through individualistic exercises that involved writing a letter to yourself, forming a graphic/map out of that letter, printing the graphic full-size and then cutting and shaping that graphic into 3D forms, first out of the paper that the map was printed on and then superimposed onto balsa wood. After our 3D models were formed, we were asked to research what a “nomad” was and to find a type of nomad that we wanted to craft this project around. In doing so, we would find a way to relate the 3D forms we made in the first three exercises to the subject of the project that we were designing for.
