Architectural Design Studio I Ross Piccinini
Model 1 Description My first ideas were based on the simple beauty of what I knew and had seen, the arch. It is a structural marvel and a graceful shape. I designed a model with repeating arches that continued to enlarge then flow back into smaller arches again. [Figure 1] I wanted to create a good starting point so I would be able to morph this timeless shape into my own creation that possessed 3 qualities; flow, glide, and balance. The arch is not pointed like a gothic arch but ovular in shape.
