>Confess: Iteration 2





Applying the technique used in the structural experiment-woven uv grid, allows for the development of a more complex form. The idea of the screen and two seats becomes the formal expression of the confessional. As seen in the plan (bottom) the form creates an entrance into the cocoon like volume, the break in the form also peels the corner in to create the dividing screen. Mud would be applied to the exterior, and the structure and woven materials would be exposed on the entrance flap to create the privacy screen-dense for sight, but allowing sound to pass.
The bottom most structural diagram describes lofting between uv curves-hugging the form more then the extruded idea. Not sure which is the most effective.

ok - we are getting somewhere - that's nice! study model time! how big?? 1" = 1' to start?? bigger?

it think a study model could be good. however, id like to hear your thoughts on the two structure options-extruded uv or lofted uv. I think bigger might be best-2"=1'?
