conceptual mapping and design development
(above: site plan drawing, showing fence elevations and mechanized interpretations. original scale 1/8" - 1'-0". drawn by c.grant)

finally back - the absense from blogging is due in part largely to a complete withdrawal from computerized + digital means of production. the drawings that are posted are the result of my (long) process of defining the site that i've chosen in point douglas and the creation of the narrative (seen in the post concerning sheldon blank). as previously mentioned, the mechanisms that have been drawn were contrived through a study of their actual geometryl the rest has been constructed through these drawings.

plan drawing -blown up for viewing (original scale 1/8" = 1'-0") drawn by c. grant, 2007this portion of the plan was pulled out in photoshop to show more clearly the area of the site that is most visibly saturated with parts (as visible from higgins). furthermore, most of the components in this section were developed as mechanized components, seen at the top of the original plan drawing.
section drawing (original scale 1/8" = 1'-0") drawn by c. grant, 2007the section drawing above is the north-south section through the west end of the site. the sections are beginning to show the three-dimensional relationships between the mechanisms. this end of the space is considerably more condensed with mechanisms than the other areas of the space.
section drawing (original scale 1/8" = 1'-0") drawn by c. grant, 2007the second section (west-east) shows the areas where no mechanisms have been developed. these interstitial spaces will either be further developed in the same fashion as the others, or else they provide area for the new network of architecture to fill the space.
conceptualized machine drawing + detail (original scale 1/8" = 1'-0") drawn by c. grant, 2007another example of the mechanisms that were drawn along the top of the plan (another was mentioned in a previous post) - this one was one of the few mechanisms that was drawn almost completely from reality - most sides of this were visible from various views in the fence. it is a fairly substantial piece of machinery. this is one of the mechanisms that was incorporated into the mechanized collage about sheldon blank.
the architectural proposal is beginning to develop as well; these components form complex relationships with the site, and with one another, and will serve to create a substrate for an architectural proposal.
currently, the proposal is likely to expand beyond the heights of the fence - both upwards, and down into the ground. this is likely to become more defined as the proposal unfolds.
