Structure 2

Structure model in the works, 1/16th.

Ive been looking at Russian contructivism. Very interested subject. I also paid close attention to Terry Lee Dill's work. He was an sculptural artist who recently passed away. He was known for his amazing structure models.

I am using a similar technique by intersecting different forms of structures. column/beam, cross bracing, and web joists.

For example, I have 3 volumes, 1 with column and beam structure, the 2nd with large web joists and the 3rd with cross bracing structure.





Some examples of Russian Constructivism:

  1. nice to see work.
    the red points seem not so interesting becasue they are points and not points of space.
    reconsider the connection bewteen the volumens to be points of space as for example a stair or elevator point, space, space of movement=structure

  2. They are the main columns of structure for the volumes above, they also create the cantilever, and yes the intersecting volumes/structure will hole the vertical circulation, stairs/elevators.
