Shaping Space

Project Overview

Shaping Space is an effort of interpreting two dimensions into three through a series of sketching, modeling, reproduction, analysis, and representation.

Starting from a two dimensional painting, lines and planes were used to interpret the components of the original painting into a three dimensional reproduction representation. From the initial six models created (three strictly lines, three using lines and planes), sketching, and photographing of the models, two were selected to be expanded upon. Through intensification of the models, repetition of patterns, lines, and curves began to appear through shadows. The photographic studies then serve as the basis for investigation into park concepts. Analysis of existing system lends itself to the exploration of design of a park space. Within the design of the site, utilization of elements of patterns, repetition, and blending of systems between the park and surrounding spaces form a finalized proposal.
