Shape Grammar

Final compositions Left: Inverted, Digital composition; Right: Standard, Analogue composition
One set of the initial shape tests

Project Statement

Minimalist composition to demonstrate movement and rhythm through shape and emulated form. Shows the progression of three implied spheres through this box of light/shadow. Each composition shows lighting in a different way because of these implicit 3D shapes.

Reflection

The craft is a little rough on the analogue version so that would be something I wish I could refine. This project was very insightful on how to use basic shapes to form design concepts, and let me explore a lot of different principles in a short amount of time due to the rapid iteration process on the tracing paper.
