generative sections


Here, I take a lateral, longitudinal and plan section. The three sections are then placed relative to one another in three dimensional space. The lines are manipulated in three dimensions rather than two. By working on all three section simultaneously and within relative spacial context to each other, I have a conscious understanding of the spacial relationships of the sections during the manipulation process. In this plate the sectional object is viewed from the top, the left and the front so that the transformation, and its consequences with regard to the other sections, may be understood. Next to each step in the transformative process is a representation of the surface created from lofting the lines at that step. In the final step of the sectional object is scaled in the x, y plane leaving the z dimension untouched.
