The Initial Inspiration

The model above is inspired by Lana Bo Bardi's concept of Casa De Vidro. The build is an abstract representation of the tree that goes through the middle of the house, as seen below. This project's toothpick and triangular technique was transferred into the Naiads Quest modeling process.

Concept

The Naiad's Quest is a project in which one travels through the bones of a lotus. Weaving through the space and getting through the center creates a sense of awareness of how sound shifts as you move to the center. There is also a sense of enclosure, creating comfort as you move through the petals. The sound is supposed to be muted but still with the natural airflow. In a real space, materials would be added to the bones of the petals, adding texture to isolate sound. The lotus represents zen, and as one weaves through the space naturally, the grounding process of natural movement and sound is supposed to create tranquility.
