Objects and their specific properties define how that object operates, performs, defines voids, defines solids, and decays. In this studio we borrow the inherent properties of specific automobile parts in order to begin a discussion of understanding formal capacities and internal ‘haecciety’ of part to whole relationships. This intensive studio goes through various phases which do not operate on a linear sequence but an iterative dialogue between one set of exercises to another. Each section is a direct response to the critical objectives through strict explorations of form, space, constructs, orders, capacities and fields. [Work shown by J. Venter, J. Charbonneau, S. Bunt, D. Budke]

  1. sweet so the baby just grows and mutates over the iterative phases of the project. Just out of curiosity are the transformations of the project deadline based or do these things progress organically as each development phase comes to a close on a unique and individual schedule?

  2. Well, the images here are obviously four different students. The work begins a the critical evaluation of auto parts though quickly transforms into collaging and deconstructing of intricacies. The transformations and moves are based on a strategic understanding of the haecciety of initial mechanics. So inherently in the on-going process, through iterations the project slips into various reliefs and then expanding into full 3D built environments. Images shown are not completed projects, these are simply slices of a more fully constructed exploration.
