Our next study involves the mechanism as an architectural composition. It is a continuation of our study of mechanical gears with an added spatial dimension. We will be studying a combination of applied movements that originate as a formal composition and then reconfigure through the use of simple engineered guides, pivots, universal joints, and crank arms.
The sketches above are a series that begin to shape the possible compositions and given movements within the machines. There is also an explored notion of the machines being sited or attached in unique configurations based upon their movements.
from what did you sketch these? memory? or by watching mechanisms? it might be interesting to take stop motion-esque photographs of mechanisms and overlaying them in different ways to see what kinds of spaces emerge from different movements
