Model 3 description

Architectural Design Studio I Ross Piccinini Model 3 Description This model is the last version of the plastic designs. It is very free and flowing compared to model 1 and evolves on the a-symmetry of model 2. The form moves through the air in multiple directions through all three axis. To quantify this model such as I have done with the others would be very difficult. I can map a simple 2 dimensional curve but turning a 3D twist into a mathematical formula is not within my abilities at this moment.

The connections on this model are glued together using a hot glue gun. This is one of the areas that I would like to perform better in as glue is not a structural element in design. Maybe baseboards in a house along with finish nails but nothing structural such as joist connections. This design is artists but not practical. The next step would be to use bolts or solder to make the connections. Transitioning away from glue will give the model more presence in the scene of realistic strength.

The progression in size of the circles starts at 3 inches and increases 1/2 inch in circumference until reaching a maximum of 6 inches then decreases back down to its original 3 inches on the other side. The series of circles is as follows: 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 5.5, 5, 4.5, 4, 3.5, and 3 inches.

The progression that this model shows is the curving expression. I started out very linear on model 1 and 2 and now with this design I am throwing off the restraints of symmetry and moving to a more natural design perspective. I think people will relate in an easier manner because of its unique shape. I tend to be an orderly person and with this model I am introducing artistic chaos to my style. This is intended to improve and let me think out of the narrow confined of linear order moving from Euclidean to Projective Geometry.
