BASIC DESIGN EXERCISE
This particular exercise was divided into three stages.The first stage looked to evolve through several possibilities a particular motif.Cuboids of 2.5:2.5:5.0cms were used as an aid.But the criterias for this evolution were boundless and immense and hence at that stage were to a large extent uncertain and this is where the cuboid models played an important part.
Then it meant that the criterias for generating the motifs themselves had to evolve first.
The idea was not to be monotonous about the exercise but to mutate it and hence evolve every previous motif ie: generate a new motif from the previous ones till a stage where any further evolution of the motif would either make no sense or would result into some sort of a pattern.
The next stage involved the evolved motifs to now mutate into a pattern where by again the criterias of generation had to evolve first.But the entire scheme had to be much more than a stagnant pattern and hence the element of shadow was introduced.
The third and final stage needed this pattern to be integrated and hence it materialized into a border where it became difficult to separate or add any motif and each smaller unit of relationship is answerable to the overall form such that on removing any small part it results into an overall collapse.
