Architectural Projections: Measuring Systems -Fall 2014

Projecting within and across forms using traditional drawing systems and computational operations to discover the disconnect (or connect) between the physical and virtual world, and how that can inform a change in form and space. 
Tonal drawing of still-life. 
 
 
Tonal drawing re-projected back onto the still-life with the same point-of-view it was initially drawn from. 
Creating a measuring system: The still-life was measured at increamental heights for distance from the periphery, as well as for tonal value. 
The system of measuring was used to re-create the still-life in the digital realm of rhino by plotting individual points according to their position in the x, y and z planes. The tonal range was reduced to 5 values along the grayscale, and one red value to compensate for the presence of red material. 
The digital  still-life was given form by using three different algorithms to move from point to line. The tonal values act as layers, with the algorithm being applied to each layer individually.
 
Each column below represents a different algorithm. The top row depicts the algorithms performed three-dimensionally in rhino. The middle row depicts the algorithms performed two-dimensionally by hand using a perspective image of the still-life. The bottom row depicts an overlay of the 'digital' realm and the 'physical' realm.  
The final presentation involved an interactive performance of the algorithms being dictated and performed, giving the system of communication a new limitation. 
All work is generative and process-based, beginning with a white-coloured still-life, and concluding with an analysis of systems of representation, and how they can alter space and the perception of space.
