ELEMENTS PASSAGE ENCLOSURE
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE VOCABULARY OF SPACE AND STRUCTURE. DESIGN PRINCIPLES ARE DISCOVERED THROUGH THE MANIPULATION OF SOLIDS AND VOIDS FROM JOINTS TO SITE.
EXPERIMENTING ON HOW THE BODY TAKES UP SPACE AND PROVIDING SHELTER FROM THE ELEMENTS. RITUAL SPACES AND VARIOUS ENCLOSURE MEMBRANES DEFINE THE SPATIAL SPACES.
THE FORMATION OF VERTICAL CIRCULATION BETWEEN EACH SPACE. A NARRATIVE EXPLORATION THROUGH THE INTERIOR OF THE SITE.

WOOD WORD JOINTS QUALITY | ACTION
AFTER CHOOSING A WORD FROM A LIST OF QUALITY AND ACTION WORDS, THE WORD PAIRS WERE INTERPRETED INTO DRAWINGS AND FURTHER TRANSFORMED INTO PHYSICAL 6”X6”X6” FOAM MODELS.
WOOD WORD JOINTS
PROPORTIONALLY - harmonious relation of parts to each other or to the whole LAYERING - applying one thickness of something laid over another
WOOD WORD JOINTS
GRADUALLY - describe something that happens slowly, bit by bit EXPANDING - to increase or make larger in size
WOOD WORD JOINTS
CORNERLY - the location of an angle where two or more sides or edges meet INTERLOCKING - having parts that overlap or fit together and are interconnected

1ST COMBINATION: PROPORTIONALLY LAYERING | GRADUALLY EXPANDING
NEXT I COMBINED MY JOINTS:
TWO ITERATIONS OF PROPORTIONALLY LAYERING AND GRADUALLY EXPANDING AND ONE ITERATION OF GRADUALLY EXPANDING AND CORNERLY INTERLOCKING.

WOOD WORD JOINTS OUT OF THE JOINT ITERATIONS
I CREATED THREE OUT OF THE JOINT ITERATIONS TO ALLOW FOR SPACE BETWEEN THE JOINTS WHERE I COULD BEGIN TO VISUALLY SEE WHERE PEOPLE COULD OCCUPY THE SPACE. THE 3RD ITERATION WAS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE IT ALLIGNED WITH MY WORD PAIRS THE BEST.

THREE EDGE QUALITIES WERE DEVELOPED: THE STORAGE SPACES NEXT TO THE RITUALS, OPAQUE AND POROUS ENCLOSURES TO PROMOTE HORIZONTAL PASSAGE AND TO ALLOW FOR LIGHT AND VENTILATION INTO THE SPACE.
