KP VILLA 01

THE CHALLENGE OF THE FORM & SPACE PROJECT IS TO IMAGINE THE THREE-DIMENSIONAL IMPLICATIONS AND POSSIBILITIES OF THE TWO-DIMENSIONAL DESIGNS. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO DISCOVER AND VISUALIZE THREE-DIMENSIONAL FORM ARISING FROM A TWO-DIMENSIONAL DESIGN.

THE SQUARE A SQUARE PROVIDES THE BEGINNING POINT FOR GENERATING TWODIMENSIONAL DESIGNS ACCORDING TO A SET OF RULES. THE DESIGNS WILL WIL BE CREATED BY EITHER SUBDIVIDING AND/OR MULTIPLYING A SQUARE. THE FINAL TWO-DIMENSIONAL COMPOSITIONS WILL PROVIDE THE BASIS.

Dialogue HEARTLESS 02 VOLUME CAN BE DEFINED AS A PLANE EXTENDED IN A DIRECTION OTHER THAN ITS INTRINSIC DIRECTION. THE KEY CONCEPTS OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO USE VOID AND FILL SPACES TO CREATE TWO CUBES IN DIALOGUE WITH ONE ANOTHER WITHOUT ACTUALLY CREATING A CUBE.

01

DIALOGUE IS REPRESENTED IN THE TRANSFER FROM ONE CUBE TO THE OTHER.

02

THUS ALLOWING ONE SIDE OF THE MODEL TO BECOME THE SOLID AND THE OTHER THE VOID.

DESIGN IS AN ITERATIVE PROCESS WHERE YOU WILL BE ENCOURAGED TO VISUALIZE SEVERAL DIVERGENT IDEAS RAPIDLY AND TAKE THE MOST PROMISING IDEAS; REFINE THEM FURTHER, AND THEN COMMUNICATE THEM PERSUASIVELY WITH MORE FINISHED MODELS OR DRAWINGS. THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT WAS TO LEARN FLASH DESIGN PROCESS AND HOW TO FORM AS WELL AS ARTICULATE A DESIGN IDEA.

*this project is named after my mother, Maridam Gia, who loves to sing. this project was developed while listening to the song “PLASTIC 100°C” by SAMPHA. his soulful voice guided the paper making process. the form and construction of the final product is a reflection of the complexity and sophistication of the song. -CH

CENTER 04

THE PROPERTIES OF A GRID COULD BE USED AS A TWO-DIMENSIONAL FIGURE TO DEFINE VOLUME IN A THREE-DIMENSIONAL SPACE. THE GRID THEN INLAYS A SET OF BOUNDARIES WHICH IS THEN BROKEN BY THE OFFSET OF A CURVE. THE SEPARATION OD SPACES IMPLIES A VOLUME IS A RESULT OF THE CONCEPT.
