Conceptual Models

In this concept, I was trying to illustrate rhythm and pattern by repeating the circles and pattern. The circles decrease in size and create a wave motion. 

In this concept, I was trying to illustrate rhythm and radial movement. The two vertical planes and the rib planes all meet it the middle and radial outwards, creating a center.

Contrast, by having sharp and hard defined lines that penetrate the fluid motion of the curves.

Emphasis, each shape and plane draw your attention up and to the middle of the model.

Chaos while unified, the planes seem to be falling but they are kept upright by leaning on each other.

Rhythm, by providing spaces defined by curve, there is a clear path highlighted by the waves.

emphasis, here the linear spaces is highlighted, by trying to minimize the vertical planes

This model depicts unity. In the center is the nucleus and all of the limbs depend on it for survival.

Unity, the center cylinder support the arms which supports the encasing. One component is depended on the other for survival.

Contrast and unity, the different shapes and materials create contrast. But each shape is depending on another for stability.

Cluster, the different shapes and sizes are all leaning on each other and form voids and solid.

This concept mode illustrating contrast. The exterior most planes are curved and give a sense of motion, while the interior are sharp lines that provide a sense of penetrating the curve plane

Rhythm and pattern, here the simple shape of a rectangle is repeated both horizontally and vertically, creating a sense of rhythm.

Chaos, here the horizontal curves crash into the vertical curving wall, giving a sense of waves crashing into a shore.

Balance and unity, each volume is a replica of the other and give a sense of interacting with one another.
