This project tasked us in exploring the phys ical properties of a selected mundane object and its movment throughout space. The plan, elevation, and section hand drawings below display the measured, precise de mensinality of an avrage toothpaste tube, achieved through annotations and linewight hierarchy. Assigned to then represent the local and global trajectory of our objects, I displayed the action of rolling up a toothpaste tube through still shots of the rolling and rotating process. The layering of con struction lines underneath the iterations of the object, achieves an effective representation of the often overlooked daily motion of squeezing toothpaste tube.

This exercise tasked us in disecting and re imagining the surface area of a cube to remain read as a cube figure. Considering the restraint of the nine square grid deviding up our surfaces, I set out to explore every unique possible shapes able to be configures out of only five squares on this grid. I found there to be only eight unique shapes possible. Thus, I configured six of the iterations on the surface of the cube, and the two remaining planes on the interior of the cube. Though challenging, I arranged the shapes to connect to only one other surface, withought any intersecting lines, creating on enclosed single surface portrayed in my unrolled elevation at right.
This exercise explores the way two-dimensional form can be extruded into three-dimensional space in unconventional ways. Beginning, we designed two dimensional arrangments with pro visional shapes, all measured te be pro portional with eachother. From these two dimensional arrangments, we abstracted the orginal concepts into positive and negative space and a physical model. From the elevation drawings, physical models other students in our studio section, we reinterpreted the digital elevation, into digital rhino models. For my in herited elevation drawings, I set for only an isolated elevation view to mimic the orignial elevation. However, once rotated , it displayed a completely alternate form.

The parameters of this project was to design a pavilion surrounding selected pieces of art from the British artist and sculptor, Barbara Hepworth. For my design, I reconstructed traditional bottom-up viewings of a large sculptural art piece and isolated the top portions of Hepworth’s sculptures which reveal traditionally unperceived visual properties, and higher levels of material weathering, while accentuating the viewing of the bottom portions in two alternative sequences. For my site I created a carving into an existing mountain-like landscape with an underground portion along with circular opening to mimic Hepworth’s process of perfect circular carving prevalent in each of her sculptures. The openings additionally allow in sunlight which illuminates the sculptures for the below ground viewers.
