Three Formal Studies

Studies were conducting using the golden spiral generated by the fibonacci series that created a pattern that could be extruded and extended in order to translate from a strictly 2D pattern to a 3D form. This pattern would provide a much more flexible system that could be rearranged according to its desired use; furthermore, it would allow the lattice to be stacked and packed away when no longer needed.

This system largely focused on the idea of extruding the existing spiral pattern that could perhaps be stacked as a primary system, while it would be suspended by a secondary system using rope or wire.

This study was performed in order to understand how two of the same spirals could be connected from end to end in order to continue the form of this golden spiral while simply aggregating one unit continuously. In addition, it proposed the idea of surrrounding and engulfing the user within the space.

Lastly, this study was a summation of the previous studies in that we utilized a spiraling set of diamonds that would allow not only for a more defined geometry, but give the spiraling legs a more crystalline formation, providing space to play with transparency and opaqueness of the material.
