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
issues of force, motion and time, which have perennially eluded architectural description due to their 'vague essence', can now be experimented with by supplanting the traditional tools of exactitude and stasis with tools of gradients, flexible envelopes, temporal flows and forces.
the deleuzian focus on smooth spaces, seriality, and dynamic processes seems to have found its perfect foil in the way one can design architectural form in a nurbs modeling system.
having deconstructed Duchamp's painting into two sets of displaced planar forms, the next step was to take each of the ten sectional planes, determined through the grid, and to rationalize their relative displacement through the introduction of a nurbs curve mapped onto the relative displacement of image planes. With the creation of ten sets of nurbs-based curves linking each of the separate planes together, which are then extruded along the length of the image plane to create a smooth formative surface of the resultant position of each of the separate images.
