>Confess: Iteration 1







Confession+Catholicism yields the 1500 year old tradition of the confessional. A spacial artifact that holds the confessor and priest. A confessional can be as simple as a screen dividing a room, or as ornate as a carved Gothic example. From these two extremes yields the above process.
In plan(top) two spaces are wrapped by the surface. A priestly space which has a more direct entrance and a confession space that pulls you in more slowly, allowing a transition between the exterior and interior. The form also shades the tops of the two zones-allowing a greater sense of privacy, and buffering sound.
The screen is located in the middle of the two spaces. It follows the form yet reveals the woven structure.
Furniture could be incorporated into the form, however to keep the form a developable surface, furniture could be incorporated separately.

hmmm, really no way to make it developable with a seat built in?

I dont think so I tried about 20 different iterations. The squish command should work on undevelopable surfaces..but the plug-in isnt working with my rhino for some reason. Ill keep trying things though.
