MANIPULATING SURFACE INTO VOLUME WITH SPATIAL VERBS


ARTIFACT This thesis suggests manipulating a 2D planar surface through spatial verbs – folding, weaving, wrapping as a fundamental design tool of generating the 3D volumetric hybrids. This inspires a logic and systematic approach on consideration of spatial character or
