model progress

These images show some areas of the model that I have questions about. The render is simply a conceptual image suggesting the formal archetype that I imagined the system arriving at. The model in the image was constructed in the absence of the paper system, but not without adhering to the behavior of said system.


Building images:





This image (and the two below it) show the changes in landscape elevation and topography that occur on the site. As of now, there are simple cardboard sheets and columnar elements supporting the paper model. In the future, this topography could be more accurately modeled out of wood or , ideally, the paper system.






Building detail images:



small cavities which emerge as a result of the braiding are being utilized and activated as spaces. There is no paper below this emergent space. I was thinking that the floor would be achieved as the system horizontally arrays itself beneath the building as landscape eventually.



simple wrapping techniques begin to create spaces, this one here being a partial circulation corridor.



The system curves and doubles back on itself, creating large spaces like the incomplete cafeteria seen here.
