The grid is your friend. Tame the grid. Don't be a slave to it.

But then again, who am I to talk? I'm in love with it.

maybe try something sectionally? stacking things, moving sectionally using the grid in plan, but play in section... ceiling planes floor planes

and break from the grid in plan strategically when you have a good reason to? also maybe play with scales, volumes... big boxes vs. small boxes, formal moves vs. fields of elements? orders? ordering devces that obey the grid, and then ordering devices that have their own logic unrelated to the grid?

is this a cooper union take home test?
