Developing the "Light" Expansion

After working with the sewing patterns to fold and create different seams a form was starting to emerge. This form is to be enclosing the 18,000 more boxes but will be a "light" form that feels as if touching the ground while still being stable enough to house many visitors. 


Knowing that materials can change the feel of a building the original scheme is done to leave materiality to the imagination. The form can be done in concrete to match the existing building or a metal material to contradict the older building with a new one. 


The spaces created are to have a variation of heights so that in some areas the visitor is feeling closed off and concealed while in others the area is open and lets a visitor see all that is around them. 



The pieces are to feel to heavy, they are to look as if nothing is holding them up. Just like life, they are to feel unstable and just like death they are a mystery.

  1. are they all the same model? (the top one looks fascinating...esp. with the overlapping planes on the roof, etc.)
