NOW PHYSICAL,
the composition sees its last
revisions. In various parallel
studies, some elements receive
thin appendages for stability,
while others are transformed
into interior mazes of floors.
These studies, accompanied by
an in-depth "fictional" section
drawing developed on pp. 30,
must cope with the idea of
the "library", which has been
tentatively sited at this point.
Even with only a basic
indication of the site in
abstract, this knowledge forces
completely deliberate choices
such as orientation, proportion,
and expression w/r/t the
property line.
Explorations instrumental to
this point in the development
include smaller, 3D-printed
models constructed from a
system of several unique
parts (opposite, b&w), as
well as extruded sections
(top left) and a larger
model (purple) codenamed
chonkYBOYE.
The final manifestation of
the project in the physical
realm is on the following
spread, fabricated with
a variety of 3D printed
thermoplastics, piano wire,
concrete, wood, & resin.
