Final Project
UC Berkeley || Spring '19
In the beginning of the semester, each student was given a set of objects to create various figure grounds through additive, subtractive and manipulative processes in Rhino5. The project explores the spatial balance and imbalance through the tension from interactions of sharp angles, constantly shifting faces of the model, and floating portions of the design.
the process
Using a given set of simple polygons, I used a series of subtractive, additive, and manipulative techniques to create a series of figure-ground relationships. I then analyzed these relationships in a series of construction drawings.
Choosing three drawings, we extruded and collided them in three dimensions, making use of the Boolean union and Boolean difference tools to create a 3-dimensional model.
