Commentary on Dialog Final Projects

How is dialog created?

Some people used one space inside of another to create dialog. They also used two different spaces that were connected by the skewers. A technique used was making one space draw your eye to another to show the relationship.



How is a sense of space/place defined?

Space was usually defined by at least 3 sides of a structure that used closure. There was also quite a lot of primary and secondary spaces. Some spaces consisted of one plane protruding through another.



How is the idea of a system generated?

The engagement of skewers created opportunities for dialog. These systems were generated by the sharing of boundaries of spaces. A system is created by repetition and the way that the skewers were arranged.


How does the joinery support the project concept/strategies?

When you can join together the pieces of the project from different angles and sides, you begin to find new ways in exploring combining ideas. It's the process of working with the materials and building up strategies from the mistakes you make along the way.


How is scale utilized in the project?

Scale was used to determine primary and secondary spaces. It was also used to show a direct relationship with the size of one space to another.



How do two-dimensional images add to the understanding of the project?

These images show detail of the spaces from all sides. You can zoom in or out and look at only one view at a time as opposed to being distracted by the 3D structure and it's complexity.


How did the initial project idea evolve?

The original project idea usually started with simple shapes for the spaces such as triangles and squares. The project was then developed into more of a unified piece when we were asked to create our two-part structure instead of one. It became a project about communicating through the project's unity without having to explain what was going on or be as literal about the figures.
