Planes

Plane flirts with both line and mass. Planes often reveal geometries, logic(s), rules, interests.

 Planes can slide

 Planes can be scored, cut and folded

 Planes can thicken

 Planes can aggregate

 Planes can carve

 Planes can peel back and bend

 Planes can float

 Planes can twist

 Planes can play mass

 Planes can fold

 Planes can be continuous

 Planes can change identities, seem solid at once and then thin as a line

 Planes can replicate

Planes can form a surface

 Planes can be molded

 Planes must be constructed

 The details of how planes meet is important

 The degree to which a plane communicates mass, plane and line should range and be clear

When designing, it helps to envision planes in relationship to regulating lines, coordinates, alignments, constructive processes--some constant that helps guide how your planes move and create space.

Read:  What are possible ideas embedded in these projects?

Utimately, we are asking:  How can the spirit of the planar element express an idea and at the same time engage in the dialogue with the existing site, the original basswood frame, as a way of making dynamic space(s).
