From the assignment sheet:
This final assignment combines analysis (parts A and B) and transformation of a Renaissance or Baroque painting to create a three-dimensional object. The object extracts the most essential elements of the painting and transforms them into architectonic relationships. The project will reveal spatial layering, volumetric continuity, and the phenomenon of transparency through abstraction. The phenomenon of transparency involves the superimposition of spatial layers, which is critical to understanding the unique spatial qualities found in modernist architectural projects.
We were assigned to make cubes that were abstract representations of our paintings. To a point, they were to be derived from our diagrams, but the goal was to step away from just extruding a 2D representation.
Iterations during the design process:
Of my study models, one was deemed to have highly successful elements, and it became the basis for my final model.
The final cube was built around the grid identified in Project 1B and worked with layers on two different planes. The grid is visible from all sides with certain elements coming to the forefront depending on the view. The thinner pieces in the center represent an area of dynamism in a rather linear structure. The "scarred" face of the cube is representative of light. In this case, thought light is important, I decided to keep it abstract in the final design. This cut out lines up with a smaller void on the opposite plane, allowing for the passage of light from source to destination.
