LAYER MODEL
ARCH 108 | FALL 2014
Transitioning from a study of 2D to 3D, Layer Model acts as a conceptual realization of hierarchy and depth in a physical form. Beginning with a slice of a previous shadow study project, the darkest tones became the base layers, while lighter tones occupy greater heights. Reduced to a series of planar elements, a ribbon-like connect is made – creating two continuous loops – which play with the contrast and variation between tonal values. An axonometric drawing of the Layer Model depicts the realization of the original drawing slice as two elements which work effortlessly together to define a three-dimensional form.
