24.01 digital relief take 3


from Konrad Wachsman's, The Turning Point of Building (click on image).

Finish work on the two-sided relief. Begin a third take (new file), this time refining the two-sided relief according to detail and events that are embedded in the chromatic encoding. Produce prints from hidden line isometric views for each relief side. Export image as Illustrator File; print from Illustrator on 11 x 17 sheets; one isometric per sheet; minimum 4 sheets.

As discussed in studio formZ is primarily a solid modeling program. Think about creating solids from surfaces and how those solids join and connect to each other similar to a constructed process (like carpentry). All models produced should reduce form collisions and conflicts. Do not union the entire model or major portions of the model. Use difference, intersection and split as if the model can be assembled and disassembled (see above).

Upload to the server formZ models of all reliefs produced thus far. Also upload Illustrator files (or PDF) for produced views.

Due: Wed. Mar. 28. 9am.
