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.
