theoretical massing, chicago il, spring 2024
Completed January 2024.
Volume created from floor plans of Element House (MOS, 2014) and Entelechy I (John Portman, 1964).
The Portman plan was extruded, capped, wire cut with the MOS plan, and columnar structures selectively reduced to manifest the form.
The resultant form was 3D printed in section to examine the created condition of interiority.
The space was rendered using surreal collaging techniques that mimicked the surreal nature of its existence on a lot in Jackson Park, Chicago.
Finally, a composite drawing was compiled to explore the atmosphere and politics of the space through both text and diagram.
