Diagrams & Form of Swan Lake video

For this project, our studio used Act II Swans' Dance of Paris Opera Ballet's Swan Lake as reference to produce diagrams of the ballerinas' movements. My diagrams record how the dancers move and interact with both the stage and each other at different timeframes. The grace of these interactions are then processed via Vectorworks to create the start of a 3D form (and eventually an interior space).

The form above is generated through the "Duplicate Array" function.

Wire Model in the City

Wire Model in the City

A project for our Context: Imaging & Representation class. Using brass and copper rods, we soldered them using pre-prepared sketches as a guide. They are designed to be a space that allows a constant interaction between the structure itself and the people travelling in the city.

We were asked to re-integrate our finished model into the city through a photograph showing the potential possibility of interaction that exists between commuter and structure.

Hats Throughout the Ages

A graphic poster showing the timeline of hats throughout history. The poster uses colour to show the purpose, function and popularity of different hat styles at various stages of history. Very often, the use and significance of these hats change as they fall out of fashion.

Map of Hermes

Map of Hermes

A semester-long project for my Studio class. 

A map of the city but also a map of the many different journeys I explored throughout the semester. A montage of different experiences and a map of the city through my eyes.

This map also shows:

• The threshold between nature and the man-made
• The intensity of nature's influence on the structures of the city
• The ideal location for my imaginary city of Hermes

The Many Layers of Cockatoo Island

The Many Layers of Cockatoo Island

When asked to use the materials provided to produce a map of Cockatoo Island as we see fit, we decided to make a layered 3D map.

Through the exploration of Cockatoo Island, we noticed 5 primary components that make up and define the island. These features are: the land, the unused spaces, buildings, nature and machinery. In order to represent this is the most simplistic way, our group constructed this 3D map showing 5 different layers each of which represents one of the features. Our goal was to communicate the idea in the easiest and most fool-proof way that can be easily interpreted when need be.
