Spaces work as filters to protect people from surroundings due to different functions, while they also work as mediums through which people experience both nature and the sequence of spaces.

Visitors get to experience nature by going through walls and walls, which are defined as “Filtering Mediums”. At the same time, visitors themselves are being filtered by these

101 Design I Interact + Dance = INTERDANCE
Units dance together, touching and intersecting according to a density rule whereby gravitational attraction is more intense towards the centre and less intense at the periphery, in a self-bounding universe.

Dancing Rhythm Synthetic Drawing Lead on Vellum Thicker basswood sticks are placed in and near the gravitational center, to show the density difference.

SEQUENTIA
Both additive and subtractive models are interpreting the idea of the neologism “Interdance” based on the previous drawings from excercises. In the center of this universe, cubes carve into each other more due to the “gravitational” rule. The original component is taken from the negative space of the additive model. Each arm’s angle varies in the components. Sequence Grid Photography (Additive Model)
The way components are composed together is a spiral arrangement, and each component carves part of another, idicating the concept of “INTERDANCE”.

ABIGAIL COOVER HUME
“Slices” cut out from subtractive model are the solid floors or walls in the folly pavilion, creating shelter and platform for the visiters. Sequence Diagram shows the rhythm of connecting all the components and how they “dance” together. Sequence Grid is the process of visitors’ vision from “being blocked” to “being free” when they folloe the routine indicated by “bridges”.
