FORMAL ORGANIZATION

ARCH 1854 – DIMITROPOULOS – FALL 2019

In this project the stipulations were that you had several different sized cubes and had to fit them all together to create a unique form within a 10”x10”x10” cube. This project was a major test of our craft skills and really challenged me to make seamless models. Each of the required cubes could be incorporated into the form by the addition or subtraction of space. The first form had to be arranged orthogonally. I focused on the experience created within space. Light floods down from a small skylight filling a tight and compact dark space with warmth and the feeling of openness. This form was designed to emulate the experience of a cave. The second iteration allowed rotations; I chose to make every cube additive to create a massive and imposing form. This iteration tested the limits through complex rotated additions. The final form was designed to emulate a large building structure.
