Spring Master's A - Exercise 02

When you are working on Exercise 02, think about how your drawings might inform your next iterations.  Knowing that you will have to represent your constructions in both plan and section, what information is most valuable?  There is inherently potential for added complexity and development when working between two and three dimensions.  

See some of the "unfolded" patterns below as possible references for your plans.

Push yourself to think about the range of ways the paper can be manipulated and what would be most effective in achieving your desired structure and pathway.  Remember, this isn't just about accommodating a marble, but also about the material itself and what its "limits and potentials" are...you have to discover them!

Take a look at some of these images for inspiration, then find your own.
