Geometric Concepts

Graphics & Carboard Models, 3 Models (11x6 in), 2023 

Gabriela Tejada, BSc. GEOG, Arch Minor 

Artwork Description: The final Project 4 in Studio 01 involves a critical development of architectural designs, focusing on cultural context and formal strength as well as a comprehensive development from Projects 1, 2, and 3. This project unfolds over three weeks, with each phase building upon the previous one. Refining the design methodology and massing based on our concept models from Project 3. Which integrate the mashups from 3 precedent houses and are developed using a geometric language (solid, linear, planar). I worked on a set of three houses situated across a transect, establishing a cohesive project through shared language and geometries that synthesizes the three sites. However, each concept main purpose is to adapt to its topography and surroundings. 

Artist's Bio:  I'm an artist passionate about transforming data into visual narratives and solving real-world problems through spatial analysis. My work blends skills in Physical Geography and Architecture, focusing on cartography, hydrology, urban planning, and data visualization. Recently, I was globally selected as one of two artists in residence for the EGU23 General Assembly in Vienna, where I continue to unravel the intricacies of our world through compelling visual stories.

Artist's statement: My art is inspired by the intricate patterns of nature, urban landscapes, and hydrological systems. I draw influence from the potential of data to reveal hidden narratives and the power of visual storytelling to make complex ideas accessible. Interdisciplinary collaboration and the intersection of science and art shape my work, driving me to explore new perspectives and techniques.
