Tracery AEffect _preliminaries

These are the boards the team and I have been working on as a fabrication project at A&M. I just thought they looked amazing and I wanted to post them.

The project is really about the pliant and the Affect, with the architecturalization of the work being faceted and porous. The whole thing is an experiment in materials and scripting. I'll let you know more as things develop-

Urban Intervention

In this project, the intervention is a tool for the reclamation of "jarring" public space (Colin Rowe, Collage City) which dominates the suburban landscape. The intervention creates an spatial representation of Affect (in this case, the horrific) generated through philosophical, analog, and digital investigations by employing poché as an urban organizing strategy. Included below are photos of the final study model and the subsequent digital investigations.
