Digital Fabrication_Stratton






It was my intention to create from the digital model a physical model where the pattern could capture the solid/void relationship of the object in space, and display a difference in materiality which then could emphasize light and shadow. Taking only a portion of the digital model, I could then choose more carefully the composition I wanted to create by deleting parts of the pattern. Taking longitudinal and transverse sections through the object allowed the depth and complexity of the object to show. The use of two materials, plexi-glass and chipboard enabled me to model the positive and negative space (the bricks and the mortar) and allow light to move through the transparent material and create a physical model where light and shadow add an additional element.
