VOICE OF CHARLOTTESVILLE

2022 Fall

Advisor: Chris Kroner, Marta Jarabo

Individual Project

Project Type: Academic
While Charlottesville has a downtown, the retail spaces provided lack the opportunities for people to have interations. Unlike a traditional closed off art gallery, this project aims to create an art space that is extroverted for people to join and engage. The exploration of pixelation art pushed for the generation of floor plan as well as the roof structures. Detailed analyzation through linework was created immediately after the initial concept model made with leaves, and the directionality of main stems were turned into folding lines that generated the three dimentional interaction.
