Sugar is a gorgeous substance, and it was enjoyable to work with it in class. I learned about space, organization and how to work with its material limitations. Also, I had my first concept of working with space and its organization through primary, regular & irregular forms. Those compose its definition of shape variations such as dimensional, subtractive, additive transformation.

Initially, I used a Cluster method approach (descriptions of page 72 of the book Architecture: Form, space and Order). I grouped a set of sugar cubes in such a way that the square and rectangles in the same group (called a cluster) are more similar to each other than to those in other groups (clusters). Also, I built a solid side of the square to interact with the void shapes and the bottom of the surface. Then, I experienced a substantial sphere shape overlapping and colliding a subtractive rectangular shape as well as adding to it.

The form applied to the sugar cube project were additive, subtractive and centralized. It is visible the spatial tension between most of the cubes, edge-to-edge, and face-to-face contact as well as the subtraction of shapes volume and centralization of forms. I studied the artist Brendan Jamison who does sugar cube sculptures.
