A FLUTED AND STRETCHED MOUNTAIN WITH TUNNELS.

BY SIMULTANIOUSLEY IMPOSING A SET OF FLUTES ALONG A MASS AND PROJECTING A GEOMETRCIAL VOID WITHIN THE MASS, HOLES BEGIN TO EMERGE AS A REACTION TO THE OVERLAP OF THE TWO SUBTRACTIVE PROCESSES. MAHDI ALKAIFI

A RUSTICATED AND SLOPED DONUT WITH GRIDDING.

A SLICED AND TORQUED BOX WITH RUSTIFICATION.

THE SUPERIMPOSITION OF THE GRID OF BURNS ON THE SLOPED DONUT CREATE VARYING TYPES OF RUSTICATED “HOT SPOTS”.

THE SLICING OF THE BOX CREATES A CURVED SURFACE THAT HAS MORE OF A HORIZONTAL QUALITY THAN THE BOX IT’S BEING PUSHED AWAY FROM.

“A FLUTED AND STRETCHED MOUNTAIN WITH TUNNELS.” MODEL TESTS THE PREVIOUS SUBTRACTIVE PROCESS BUT WITH THE MASSING OF A BOX TO TEST THE EFFECTS OF THE OVERLAPPING TECHNIQUE OF SUBTRACTION. 8

THE FLUTES BEGIN TO SPEAK A DIFFERENT LANGUAGE WHERE THEY ACT AS BOUNDARIES FOR THE PLATE / SHEET-LIKE OBJECTS THAT DON’T NECESSARILY EMBODY ANY SPECIFIC FORM. A SPECIFIC AND UNIQUE TEXTURE DEVELOPS THAT EMPHAZISES A HEAVINESS AND ROUGHNESS. 11

“A FLUTED AND STRETCHED MOUNTAIN WITH TUNNELS.” DIRECTION OF FLUTES RUN IN THE SHORTER LENGTH OF THE MASS. FLUTES INTERSECT EACHOTHER AND AT SOME PARTS BEGIN TO BRAID AND MELD TOGETHER. 12

13

“A FLUTED AND STRETCHED MOUNTAIN WITH TUNNELS.” THE PROXIMITY OF THE FLUTES AND AND VOIDS BEGIN TO BE MORE CONTROLLED IN THAT THEY ARE USED TO CREATE A SPECIFIC EFFECT, THE HOLES. 14

15

“ A FLUTED AND STRETCHED MOUNTAIN WITH TUNNELS.” THE FLUTES ARE PUT IN CLOSER PROXIMITY WITH THE GEOMETRICAL VOIDS WHICH CREATES LARGER HOLES. THE MASS BEGINS TO OPEN IN THE CENTER DUE TO THE PROXIMITY AND OVERLAP OF THE PROCESSES. MAHDI ALKAIFI

A FLUTED AND LUMPY BOX WITH SHIFTS. THE FLUTES THAT COME FROM THE BREAKING UP OF THE BOX ARE USED AS THE DIRECTION OF SHIFTING TO CREATE UNDULATING PIECES.

A FLUTED AND HOLLOWED LUMP WITH HOLES. THE SUPERIMPOSITION OF FLUTES ON AN OBJECT WITH A MORE IRREGULAR FORM. HOLE IN THE CENTER CREATES A FUNNELING EFFECT FROM INSIDE OUT. 34

35

A FLUTED AND LUMPY BOX WITH SHIFTS. THE FLUTES THAT COME FROM THE BREAKING UP OF THE BOX ARE USED AS THE DIRECTION OF SHIFTING TO CREATE UNDULATING PIECES. THE FLUTES ARE NOW CUT IN MORE THAN JUST ORTHAGONAL GRID. MAHDI ALKAIFI ARLIND PULASHI

37

AGGREGATED AND HALLOWED LUMPS WITH HOLES. AGGREGATION OF LUMPS GIVES A SET OF HEIRARCHIES TO EACH ELEMENT. THE HOLES OCCURED AS A RESULT OF HOLLOWING OUT.

39

A FLUTED AND LUMPY ARC WITH SHIFTS. SHIFTING OF MASSES ALONG THE FLUTES CREATES A PART TO WHOLE RELATIONSHIP IN THAT EACH MASS ACTS AS AN INDVIDUAL ELEMENT, BUT STILL DERIVING FROM A PARENT MASS. MAHDI ALKAIFI ARLIND PULASHI

A FLUTED AND HALLOWED LUMP WITH GAPS. INTRODUCTION OF MAIN PROGRAM (SPACE FOR TWO POOLS). TWO MAIN SPACES ARE SEPERATED BY A VOID THAT IS OPEN TO THE OUTSIDE.

RIBS, REMNANTS, FLUTES, VOIDS THE SUBTRACTIVE PROCESS OF CREATING FLUTES, RIBS, VOIDS, AND REMNANTS IS CONTROLLED TO CREATE: POCKETS OF LIGHTS, “ECHOING” PERSPECTIVE, AND A TWO OVERALL “KINDS” OF SPACES. MAHDI ALKAIFI ARLIND PULASHI
