Bracket Fungi Final Results

For the most part, this is the final product. The top section of photos is the final outcome of this process. Though I believe the first two or three steps were helpful, The last abstraction step or the making it into a 3D solution was pretty much a failure. As I began to extrude the lines from two dimensional images into three dimensional space, no decent patterns or compositional arrangements came about. Because of this I looked at my thrid step as a two dimensional picture of a three dimensional object. I then took this form and flattened some of the shapes to make them elevation shapes and some to be considered the top shapes. In a sense I composed my 3D image out of looking at my two dimensional drawings as if they were a perspective of an actual object. My composite image is rather boring and unsucessful but it is the only solution I got. Rather than to compose the 3D image out of the two dimensional images, I am going to take the general knowledge of form I gained from this process and apply it to the design of my buildings. I doubt I will actually use the images, however; I may use them for inspiration to derive the overall form of my final structure. Though the total process was not particularly successful, I did learn a new methodology for deriving fresh Ideas. In this case I think more can be learned from the failure of this process. Perhaps this means I need to step back to phase one. Whether I should simplify the overal formations of the bracket fungi into simplified geometric shapes, or keep them organic in nature is an interesting composition. The overall shape may be similar, but the three dimensional qualities could be very different. Hopefully the time I spent in the duration of this process will not be in vain but will aid as a stepping stone to reaching my final destination.
