Moments out of Doors


These are my four moments based on progress. Earlier I posted a bunch of iterations of doors and movement of doors. I used the figure ground images to create the composite on the far left. Then I chose just one square and did line drawings. (well actually I did a whole bunch of squares and drawings, but these are my favorites not to mention the best looking of the bunch and the most complete.) I finally took those line drawings into Rhino and created the current 3-D image on the right.
I was really impressed by all of the different types of doors on the barn at the site. They all serve basically the same function, but every one of them looked and operated differently. A door is a rectangle though, no matter how it opens. (At least on this barn.) So I needed to make these rectangles interesting. I decided to study movement. My problem was then to move from literal doors to a new ambiguous structure. So I started pull and push and paste and move. Process is a very important part of the project, so I tried to keep as much documentation as possible. This way you can see how I get from point A to point B. As you can see, I ended up with a pretty intense solution. The fairly ordinary doors on an old barn became a study and a work of modern movement and volume. I really like where this ended up.
