concept overview

The provided fabric sample followed a diagonal directional flow and contained lots of depth. The main fold in the fabric resembled an elongated ellipse that had been cut off at the base and continued to follow the diagonal direction as highlighted in red. Additionally, the blue dotted lines observe the converse features and heights of the primary fold, exemplifying the juxtaposition between the high and low points. The main fold of the fabric contained the most visual interest for me both in terms of the top view but also the hierarchal value. The peak of the fold was the highest point of the fabric which was a significant focus for my project in terms of the influence from the fabric sample.

The terrain sample and the fabric sample hold many simillarities primarily in the hierarchal qualities. There are simillar places of depression and elevation between the two that allowed to a seamless meshing of the two from a perspective viewpoint. Additionally, the same diagonal flow is evident in the terrain sample, allowing this flow line to emerge as a key focal point in the project.

For my concept I chose to focus more on the movement of the grid lines and therefore the horizontal flow of the panels, my grid studies were the strongest part of my iterative applications and I chose to focus on these whilst leaving the panelling more simple to emphasise the modification of the grid work.
