EX_02

EX_02 is an exercise based on the capabilities of movement achieved with pins and rubber bands on a 1" x 1" grid of pin-holes. The object is to create a variety of spaces that can be reconfigured to increase/decrease in size and orientation based on a dialogue that we specified. On my particular board you will notice 6 differently colored pins, two of which represent primary occupants, and are always present, and four others that represent guests , and enter the space periodically. These pins move throughout the space according the movement constrains of a corresponding chess piece. Black=King, Orange=Queen, Blue=Bishop, Green=Knight, Red=Rook, and Yellow=Pawn. These colored pieces are also representative of different professors here at Cal Poly and their movements take their individual attitudes towards architecture and each other into account. The pin board itself was designed around the concept of overlapping, and ephemeral spaces and I looked towards the idea of a Venn-Diagram to ahieve this effect. The video shows an animation of the combination of EX_01 and EX_02 in a 3D environment. Here you will witness the representation of the Venn-Diagram idea in conjunction with a network of objects obtained in EX_01. I see this as "encapsulated spaces"
