Description
Spatial Transformation Series: Construct I. 2005.100 Hand-cut Museum Board pieces, Glue.
4 x 6 x 9 in.
The spatial transformation project was the first work we were given at The University of Michigan's School of Architecture and Urban Planning. The idea was to introduce us to the ideas of making and conceptual ideation through physical modeling.
The assignment was to assemble 100 layers of museum board cut to 4 x 9 inches to create a block 6 inches deep. We were told to cut away at each piece of museum board in order to create voids which engaged space in an "architectural way."
This one week assignment became the jumping-off point for a second phase of the project which we only later found out about.

This kind of gives me an idea for an architectural experiment
Thanks <3 ... btw brilliant model, some real interesting spaces there

Thanks Ravenbell. You should give architecture a shot. It's a really challenging field of study.

Um, you're welcome. I'll just ignore your original reply, shall I?

This looks great. I love the tension in it where the curves change suddenly. I'm thinking of applying for architecture at uni next year, so it's great to see someone's work

SI Rehab: Doβs and Donβtβs
Here is some additional advice for your patients with SI dysfunction/pain:
Do walk briskly 2-3 miles a day to strengthen stretched-out sacroiliac ligaments and reduce them to their proper size and position.
Donβt rely on bed rest -- ligaments will further slacken from disuse.
Donβt bring your knees to your chest, perform sit-ups, or bend over from the waist with your knees straight. All of these motions will displace the SI joints.
Donβt use heat treatments after a back injury. Heat expands the ligaments, contributing to further instability.
Do ice the area. Ice reduces inflammation and relaxes muscles.
