Generative morphologies

Using igeo script, line drawings were produced that imply significant depth, those drawings were interpreted both in their presentational and geometrical relationships into surface conditions. further through the project implied depth was amplified by obscuring the edge conditions between the surface and the 3d manifestation of the surface. In order to alter this obscurity these layers require having visual homogeneity, yet they have to be distinguished as separate objects.  Moving to site, placing the surface condition in vertical and horizontal axis, sets new set of relationships between them that produce a void space in which the garden takes place. Further, by exaggerating edge conditions and articulating them the space between the 3d manifestation and the surface becomes a habitable exterior space. Due to the directionality of the surface geometry another challenge was to use similar articulation to terminate the skin at ends. Looking back at earlier line work studies, those presentation qualities were used as a design tool to offer another set of qualities that was to utilize and transform the surface edges and creases into a 3d fraying condition at ends.  These conditions offered a solution to the corner problem in the site, as well as introducing diffused fuzzy light into the interior spaces.
