Material Lines

Based on the work of Peter Eisenman and architectural operations.  This project explores orthographic projection and the operation of rotation as a transformational process.  In this project, rotation will be used at various scales to create form.  It will be used to rotate single lines, a single plane, multiple planes, or even the entire structure.  Using the operation at multiple scales allows for a more dynamic style to emerge.  For example, rotating single lines can lead to the creation of new lines to attach the rotated line to a point on the original line, thus forming a new plane.

In the final stage of the project, rotation is primarily applied to the rotation of shadow projection lines up or down to manifest an inhabitable pavilion.  Lines rotated up will form the height of the pavilion and lines rotated down will dig into the ground plane.  Single lines and planes will be rotated from the shadow projection to form the new planes of the pavilion.  New lines will then be rotated from a point on one plane to another to connect them.
