VOLUME & SPACE
PROJECT
Dowels were my primary resource which had different sizes and diameters. These interactions of variations created depth and volume perception. For example, two dowels of smaller diameter correspond to a bigger dowel. The organization of the dowel by changing the spacing, width, height, and juxtaposing the location of systems matters to define spaces clearly.
During researches on the book: Architecture Form, Space & Order, pp 134-143 and following architectural design classes, I found inspirational buildings such as Sabanci Merkez Mosque in Adana, Turkey, and all information needed.
On this project, I can identify all three first shaped volumes. The circle is the center of the work. A small triangle overlaps the circle. Also, the ring collides with two rectangles and another triangle.
The same box which is within the circle space also overlaps on its bottom to another rectangle which abuts the circle. This rectangle also forms two additive squares. The biggest rectangle on the corners has a triangle inside of it. It also creates another two additive squares. The project has ten shapes and has shapes within contours, space overlapping space and abutting it, as I studied in the book: Architecture Form, Space & Order, pp 134-143.
