Tasked to complete a series of quick week-long projects that would be used to test elements in a final design, the "shotgun modules" arose. They were used to investigate multiple aspects of design: Light, Structure, and Private Space. The precedents for these interventions were the site and the Vennesla Library and Culture House in Norway.
Programs: Rhinoceros, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightroom, Handdrawn underlay, Lumion
Model: Acrylic rods, MDF, Basswood, Sewing Pins, Task Board, Concrete, Matte Board, Matte Acrylic
Project: Short midsemester projects for Studio V: Spring 2018
This investigation of light was to see the influences direct and indirect light had on a space. In this instance, the acrylic tubes conducted light in a way that created very distinct harsh light at the tips while the side slits allowed diffused light to guide circulation. The farthest destination light is also diffused as to draw users in.
This investigation explored the ways that pinned connections can create sturdy structure. The ribs create implied spaces within that cater to the site that it is sitting upon.
This exploration was to see the interaction between public and private spaces in relation to material changes and curiosity. This multipurpose space could be used for reclining, reading, working, or just watching the surroundings.
