Mapping Space

ARC 107 Introduction to Architecture Design / Fall 2022 / Instructor Iman Fayyad

This exercise is a practice of space imagination through cubes. We first create rules in an unrolled six faces of cubes. Based on the rules, we refine the cube surface with systematic lines. Ultimately, we transform the finalized unrolled 2D cub surface into 3D and develop a spatial hierarchy or spatial sequence through the 3D cube. In my case, the protagonist of my cube is the “L” shape. Adding a small cube with a void in the middle creates an illusion when you turn the cube at different angles. I aim to have the viewer see solid versus void when they turn the cube.
