This is one of our first assignments for ARCH470 in which we practiced the tools of Rhino- a drafting software. The task was to use a series of methods of subtraction & addition from the cube primarily through the use of Boolean Commands to create an interesting composition. I soon discovered that it was very possible to over design such a thing and the transitions from step to step were too much. I did glean some useful information from the process such as the sweep tool and further advancing my abilities with Boolean union & difference. If i were to perhaps change some things, I would stick closer to the original shape through the process and try to develop a more synthesized design with a definite thrust for its motif.
The work through Rhino was not of exceeding difficulty but it was very interesting. I did have some trouble using the various commands of Illustrator, but this I am sure was due to a lack of knowledge on the software itself. The final solid I chose was of my 11th step in the process. It showed an adequate level of abstraction and had a compelling void space to boot. I felt that after this operation the cube lost most of its definable shape in which i attempted to bring back with a shelled rectangle in the 14th iteration. Throughout the process of creating this abstraction, I did try and keep a few rules of measurement and an accuracy in each step. This I achieved in all of the iterations save those done with the wire cut tool. All in all I found this project to be very informative on the programs we will be using in the future.
