This project represents my final design project of my masters degree (Bachelor of Architecture), undertaken at the Hull School of Architecture, England, 2002. This project is also entered into this years RIBA Silver Medal Award Part 2 Design, for more details visit: presidentsmedals

topic: The concept originated from the desire to investigate the notion of movement expressed through an architectural realisation, as initiated through Duchamp's 'Nude Descending A Staircase' 1912.

strategy: Through the dissection of Duchamp's painting it was possible to construct a three dimensional representation of the two dimensional image of the painting. This was achieved through the levels of light reflectance of a single one-sixeth subdivision.

architecture: With the generation of in-between spaces from the extrapolation of a simple 2D image, it then becomes possible to inhabit these spaces based around the notion of movement being realised in an architectural form.
