project three: (structural model)

exploring the idea of using the trusses in a roof to drive the project. using trusses as a means of delineating space, compressing space to get that claustrophobic feel, creating vertical circulation, serving as furniture...

study model (sectional model)

exploring the idea of “living in a roof” - having to live in tight, claustrophobic spaces and the concept of a house being a singular, continuous room.

project two (drawings)

drawing one:

an analysis drawing of my found object in project one. through unfloding the roof, i found 3 ways to derive the centers of each unfolded variation: the true centroid, finding the center of the bounding box, and finding the center of the bounding circle. repeat x10, overlay them on each other, hatch them out and you get drawing one.

drawing two:

a transformation of the roof plan: by understanding that a triangular or angular roof can be projected on a rectilinear plan, i tried to create an object with a crazy triangular roof but a simple projected rectilinear plan. it kinda failed and i didn’t go with this transformation but i needed this step to go to the next step.

drawing three:

basically unfolding the roof plan of my transformed object and seeing how it goes together.
