Change of Heart

Ok, if you couldn't tell I have sort of abandoned what I was doing before. I realized that I wasn't very interested in the subject of just recreating the side of that body. I am still interested in the placement of hands/body through photos. Also I am still exploring the relationship between those in a photograph as well as the subject and the photographer. Photos to come...

Symmetry

Structure using my Unit of Measurement

I'm getting super frustrated with the building! I am having a hard time breaking out of my original idea of the home with all the steps, fragile looking posts, round inside, and petal top. It seems too simple and very interesting. I'm trying to refer back to other architectures work to help me. Well, this is where I am.

Unit of Measure

At the moment I am finishing up my unit of measure. That entails making a stand for the unit. It won't be able to stand up straight because of the joints, but it makes a nice organic shape when it is held up at the end.


As you can see in the photographs, the "stem" now includes 9 separate parts that link together with a wooden dowel. At the end of dowel is a square that represents the "romanthurns" which is the smallest measurement in my unit. Six of the squares are equal to one of the sections of the stem or "putzmander". Nine of the these sections or "helvsmehelvsments" are eqaul to one "putzmander".
You are able to take take apart each part of the unit to make measurements. Also the unit can be curved and moves in different directions to measure something the is rounded.
