[Assignment 3]

Abstract Machine

Goals
-To develop a complex 3D model.
-To further develop a concept using digital tools and realize the design with a physical model.

Protocol

Generate a vertical sculptural form using Rhino.  A concept generates a form and a form generates a concept. Bernard Tschumi said that a concept-form remains untested when it remains without a site. Having no site, AM will be a sculptural study adaptive to any environment.  You must use only cylindrical geometric forms to create your concept. The methods of form generation are: Repetition, Transformation, Datum, Rhythm, Symmetry, Void, Volume/thickness and so forth. We will not use any conventional conceptual dimensions such as points, lines, and surfaces.

Constraints: The form cannot exceed a volume of 6"x6"x24". In your Rhino file, you will create a box to indicate your AM is within the virtual box.

Material: 2 ply museum board only.

Schedule

Due on Thursday, October 6th, 2011 at the beginning of class. Submit the physical model and upload three high quality images of your model to the class blog.
