Student Work

Fourth year student work -

Assignment intent is the composition of three dimensional space having structural expression. Any structural system may be explored. Unifying elements require it be constructed on a 24"x36" plywood base. Design parameters preclude a square four-columned space enclosed with scored plexiglass suggesting a gridded curtain wall. Overhead is the structure protected with sandblasted plexiglass.

My design demonstrates a space frame rendered of glass capillary tubing and nylon filament. The black form suggests a building core. A red panel hovers above the floor. The art is Galileo recanting to Pope Pius 16th and his cardinals. A well shaped natural stone-as-sculpture forward of a silver wall membrane provides balance the composition.

Photographed by world class Hedrich-Blessing was made possible through the herculean efforts of a champion instructor. This photo served as the front piece of the Dean's Christmas invitation.
