Thesis: Diagrams: Models

Analysis on the study models I created using Photoshop filters.  The goal of this diagraming idea was to find edge conditions that I can use to derive form off of.  These edge conditions indicate where passage, form, and juxtaposition can occur.

Thesis: Site: Model: Process

 
Process of working on my conceptual sewn topography model.  The thicker red line indicates the Freedom Trail, the other colored threads represent the subway lines, and the black stitches represent the many intertwining streets of Boston.  The model is about 3 feet long by 1.5 feet wide.
