For our first project of the year we were asked to collect three objects of our choice from Buffalo ReUSE. This is a local store in which they collect items from demolished houses and resell them to the community. The Goal of this project was to create an interesting relationship between the objects.

Project One Final Model Concepts

Intersecting Axes are exageratted in the crossing x and y linear cardboard pieces.

A relationship is created by light. The light reflects off of the metalic doorknob to create a silloutte effect on the wooden doorknob while the viewer sees all this through a transparent orange glass fixture.

There are interesting negative spaces being created between all three objects in this model as well.

Project One Diagrams Final Model

Diagram and Wire Model Concept

The Diagram is based off of my wire model which was a focus on light rays

The point of the wire model was to model the negative space

I followed a set of light rays throughout the model and illustrated where the light rays would reflect and collide in my diagrams.

Project Two For this project we were asked to choose three art pieces from a selection. The goal of selecting and exhibiting these pieces was to heighten and enhance the experiential qualities of each art-work. A primary aim of my space was to show spatial relationships between my art pieces and enhance the visual and tactile relation-ships between the objects and the viewers.

A major commenalitythat I found in all three of these concept models was a sense of expansion and contraction.

I incorporated the design and structure of one of my concept models into this study model

Final ModelProject TwoConcepts

The main concept of this final model was about expansion and contraction through space.

I found this similar idea in all three of my art pieces through my concept models.

The tectonic method I use throughout the model are linear strips made of basswood.

In order to index the space not in an act of expanding or contracting I used a constant amount of linear strips at a constant distance. This indexing creates interesting enclosed space.
