Draw (B)

A drafted autopsy reveals the workings of a found creature. In a series of drawings, conduct a geometric and morphological study of the biological assembly. Identify a combinatory language that defines the role of the part to the whole, cell to lattice. What are the systems main behaviors and how are they formalized. Be opportunistic in using your resources.

Construct from your research material, do not trace. Parts of your study work towards a detailed understanding of the individual unit; the main focus however is on the relationship that this unit establishes with its neighbors and the global system that emerges from these relationships. Define the corridors of change within the system (in geometric terms). Draw a default state of continuity as well a state of greatest possible variation within the intact system. Overlay both within one generative drawing. Use two distinctly different line weights within each layer to establish hierarchies.

Test (Material)

A series of very simple sketch models tests the properties of the given building material. Only few (2-4) elements are used to establish a sense for the material.
