[re]generative landscapes D. Word-Action diagrams: For each of your foil images, if you have not done so already, create a diagram of the action associated with the word you chose to describe the generation of the foil image. Each word-action diagram should clearly describe the manipulation of the foil surface to achieve its final form (before painting; this may include any necessary steps used taken to unfold the foil). E. Threshold analysis: Select one of your threshold models to investigate further. The threshold moment created in this model is the seam between the two word-action surfaces. Analyze this model as the container of various threshold moments. Represent this in two ways: 1 – Plan: Create two plan drawings, one of each surface (as intersected; one will effectively be a top view and the other a bottom view) 2 – Section: Create two section drawings of your threshold model, one along each primary axis (x,y). Examine, within each of these drawings, the conditions that are unique to each word-action as well as the emergent threshold moment of the model.
