EXP 2 Week 1: 5 Concepts

5 Concepts:
Alisa Andrasek




  1. Use of attraction and repulsion to create dynamic force
  2. The ground is a network of nested-systems that can breed with one-another
  3. No definite boundary between shapes creates fluidity
  4. The relationship between the repetitious and perpetual form creates an intricate sequence
  5. Network of patterns creates homogeneous form 
Frei Otto

  1. Creating shelters with a small amount of materials
  2. Design embodies the pros of structure complementing the poetry of form
  3. Nature has ready designs
  4. Empty spaces are non-essential to the structure
  5. The core and exterior to perform as one

 Initial Sketch Work- Possible Materials : Concrete or Stone



UPDATE: Changing of Design ideas and section

  • Because of the simplicity of the first design, I have decided to change the shape and section keeping the word of "Debonair" for the underground studio workshop for Revival Cycles but using Section 10 (see below)(right-top) above ground shape for underground.        


  • I will also be developing Section 16 (see below)(bottom-left)  under-ground section using the word "Fluid" for Heston's Studio Workshop but instead of having it underground will be above ground in the final design.
