Rinse and Repeat: Breaking the Box Through Surface Articulation

The purpose of this publication is to display case studies in the novel usage of repetitious materials, geometries, and patterns towards the re-articulation of architectural surfaces. The case studies are organized into three categories: 1. Triangulation – The usage of triangular elements in the production of 3-d curvilinear form 2. Modular decoration – Repetitive elements used to articulate texture and transformation in an otherwise flat skin 3. Planar articulation – The usage of flat rectilinear elements in the pursuit of curvilinear form. While nothing compares to seeing a project in person, most of the time we are only afforded the opportunity to see the work in small monograph images with detailed images being no larger than a 2” x 2” image amongst a field of other images. Displaying detailed photos in a larger scale presents this information in ways typically unseen.
