Week 1 Axonometrics

Our first task for Experiment 2 was a series of axonometric drawings, using three rectangular prisms to construct a space representing our client's ideas.



The first set of axonometrics (above) were designed for Keith Campbell. I aimed to express the ideas of knowledge and investigation in his quote by creating regimented, geometric 'building blocks', which represent learning and logical, scientific inquiry.



The second set of axonometrics were designed for Jacques-Yves Cousteau. His quote expressed ideas of flight and freedom. I used different angles and intersections of the rectangles so they would differ from the logical geometries of the first set, and thus represent unrestrained freedom and, like an archangel, qualities beyond the logical world.
