Figures & Fields
simplify complexity through hierarchy
Exploring field and figure conditions along with figure ground relationships through the use of line weights, hatching and inversion to create hierarchy within layering.
The preliminary four studies show an exploration of these conditions which culminate in the last three exercises where the figure was emphasized and field hatching conditions were used to create hierarchy within a floor plan, like scenario.

Objects & Taxonomies
Objects & Taxonomies
documenting trans-formative processes in sequence
Experimenting with various trans-formative processes such as revolving, lofting, and sweeping figures to create three dimensional forms within a cube. Followed by merging and cutting the figures from one another to create a compound form.
The forms are furthermore documented in multiple fashions to explain the processes from which they are derived.

Proto Architectures
structure following formal concepts
Beginning with a porous building like form and layering information in the axonometric view. Line weights and patterns were controlled to create vector shadows and material expression on the forms.
Progressing with the same form, section cuts and structural elements were extracted to create a deeper understanding of how the preliminary form could develop into a stable building. Color was also added to explore with different forms of representation.

Context & Atmosphere
juxtaposition of urban and natural landscape
Experimenting with the relationships of topography to an urban landscape and showcasing the difference between natural and man made disruptions within a landscape.
This study combined with the following culminates in the final study of spacial representation where the natural landscape merges with an urban landscape in an axonometric view.

Context & Atmosphere
life through layering
Utilizing the perspective section as a base Layers of vegetation, furniture, and people to bring a space to life. Through the layering process themes of overlap and depth were used to create a greater understanding of the spacial qualities.
These techniques were also used in the final project at a smaller scale to bring life to a more dense urban context and a green zone space.

cumulative study of spacial representation
A combination of all learned techniques from the course to create life in an urban context and park setting. At the 40”x40” scale, small moments are created to zoom in on daily activities.
