Stereotomy Monolith A4

This project continued to push the class’ 3D modeling exploration and ended with the first physical model of the semester. With a partner, I was to create a form through additive and subtractive modeling using a cuboid as a base. The only requirements were that we use at least two oblique cutting planes, at least two projections to either add to or subtract from the base form, and to try not to directly model something already in existence.

Subtractive Steps

Starting off with an irregular cuboid rather than a perfect cube, my partner opted to only use subtractive designing. After applying two cutting planes, my partner fashioned a nonagonal pyramid and, I, a cube to use as our subtractive projections. We experimented with how the projections would effect the form by penetrating through the center of it and just partially.
