Dialogue Questions

How is dialog created?

In my project, I had two distinct spaces. One "tower" was connected to the other "tower" by means of the skewers, which in turn, intertwined the two and created a dialog between them.

How is a sense of space/place defined?

Place/space is defined by the open boxes I created in each of the two towers. There is multiple negative spaces around the perimeter of the boxes and skewers also. However, most of the empty space comes from with the boxes created by the "tower-like" structure.

How is the idea of system generated?

Each square was made of two pieces of bristol board then later added was a top piece and bottom piece to finish the square into a cube. Ever other box had three skewers on each side, which corresponded to the other tower so the skewers could inter-twine.


How does joinery support the project concept/strategies?

Joinery came from the skewers that inter-twined with each other. The stability of the cubes allows the towers to stand up straight all together. However the twelve skewers on each tower help interlock to make twenty-four which creates for a more perfect "dialog" concept.

How is scale utilized in the project?

All of the bristol pieces are exactly 4x6 and then folded in half to make the boxes. The skewers are spaced evenly apart so they would interlock perfectly to make the "box" image when looked at from above.

How do 2-D images add to the understanding of the project?

Two-dimensionally, my project is proportionate from each side. Three squares down on one tower, and three squares down on the other tower.

How did the initial project idea evolve?

First off, I tried to created a four-box tower for each side, having the two "skewered" boxes in the middle of both, but this weighed down my project and made it less stable. After toying with the idea a few times before gluing, I saw that three squares would be sufficient and more stable and using the leftover bristol board, I created an even more stable base connecting the two towers even further into dialog.
