A Spatial Construction – 1A Studio Gallery

October 15, 2014 Posted by Piper Bernbaum Community, Event, Undergraduate Work, Work

1A Studio Gallery Exhibition of Project 01 – A Spatial Construction

Thursday October 16, 2014 – 5:30PM to 6:45PM at the BRIDGE Pop-Up @60 Main Street, Cambridge 

This event is free and open to the community. Join us in celebrating the work of the first year class!

The project was concerned with the investigation of 3-dimensional space. Rather than examining the composition of architectonic elements – walls, floors, columns and roofs – in a literal sense, this project explored the interrelationships between the fundamental spatial elements of lines, planes and volumes. The objective was to gain experience and insight into the manner in which 3-dimensional space is organized and perceived through the manipulation of these elements.

The work of this first project from the 1A studio dealt explicitly with the problem of composition. In itself, composition is often dismissed as superficial – concerned solely with form, rather than the meaning or content of creative work. In this project the content of the work was understood as the process of discovery that occurs in the development of the composition itself. To achieve this, the rules of the project remained somewhat open-ended. Each student was assigned an early 20th century abstract painting to work with, all asked to view the assigned paintings as a collapsed image of an extended 3-dimensional space. The idea? To develop spatial strategies that would extend these 2-dimensional paintings into an architectural construction. The results of these interpretations created a fascinating series of architectonic models which will be on display in the BRIDGE Pop-UP gallery space located at 60 Main Street, Cambridge
