Form and Space Study #3

This is a study of language.  The goal was to create a set of logical rules to be broken.  This is the essence of the headline on Page 2.  I imaging this to be some sort of gallery corridor which not only connects people from one part of the building to another, but welcomes lingering and impromptu conversation.  What do you think this space connects to?

Form and Space Study #2

This models examines the idea of anchor, zone, boundary, and edge.  It is an anonymous place that could serve as a patio and viewing platform.  I imagine this space at the edge of a cliff or perched above a city on a hill ... perhaps this space could be how the site communicates with the world below.  What does your imagination see?

Form and Space Study #1

"The language of design is not one of identification, but of intention: what something does can be more important than what it is.  This language has the ability to do more than just identify the components that make up our environment; it has the ability to challenge designers to consider the role those components play in the operation of space." from Language of Space and Form by James Eckler.

This series will explore my physical interpretations of various concepts from the Language of Space and Form.  This study's goal is to better understand what makes meaningful architectural space through a series of study models.
