I did some sketches of static and organic forms shown above. Also I was thinking of what uses both static and organic form and came up with a sponge. When a sponge is dry it's hard and maintains its shape, but when it's wet it becomes soft and free to take on any form when applied pressure.For my next step, I want to get an idea from something that is organic and build off of that. This is a black and white composition of an image of grass that I will use to come up with a form to work with.
These sketches I highlighted the positive and negative areas to create some forms. The first one was a quick sketch of the areas with most contrast and the second sketch I added in more details and refined it down a little.
After comparing the sketches and the image I noticed how there are areas that are largely white-condensed and fades to black in some areas. With that I had the idea that the white represented structures and the black nature. Now with that I can further my idea that the structures are intertwined with the site/nature; weaving in and out of the ground. So I went back to my composition image and lightly highlighted the areas in Photoshop and then brought it into Rhino using the Heightfield command.
With this I made a study model out of chipboard and realized the variance in height and/or depth. I then looked at it as not the site but as a building because I had boxed my model, giving it the form of a structure. So with this I decided that with this surface that I've created, maybe it can be used as a wall that has a variety of depth and children would be able to play in them or those areas could be inhabited.
