Course: Fall 2024 Ideation & Representation (Pratt)

Professor: George Louras

Taking inspiration from collages of Bauhaus designer Margarete Fröhlich, this series of maquettes explores the translation of lines into layers, and conveying materiality through collage for an adaptive reuse library project. The isometric oblique perspective, a privileged, abstracted spatiality, provides a diagrammatic approach to considering how interior space performs and is performed, and also applying abstract collage layering to other drawing types such as the plan and exterior elevation. By translating a two-dimensional oblique drawing into three-dimensional, these studies serve to reconsider layering not only as a tool of the digital, but also of the physical.
