WALL SYSTEM
ARCH 208 | FALL 2014
Using an apparently random set of lines on a piece of paper, a purposeful form is created through strategic cuts and bends. By replicating the process a number of times, an assembly is made which serves to modulate light and bring depth to any surface. The repetition of a single element brings familiarity and unity to the assembly, while the changing orientation and row overlaps bring curiosity, interest, and depth. As light hits the wall system, a great range of shadows emerge as the light is rendered to a soft glow. If a light breeze blows over the system, the elements appear to dance with each other –- rotating about their central supporting axis – to create a wave-like effect. A hallmark to it flexibility as a wall system, the base element is easily repeatable and supported by simple structural members placed on a rigid frame.
