Exercise 10

A 111 STICKS drawing

Without pre-conceived ideas of architecture and blurring the distinction between drawing and model a labyrinth-like space for the body is created out of 111 lines of various lengths, and geometry, using one material with consistent thickness, with the use of at least three line-weights, determined by the thickness of the material used (pasta, string, metal wire, paper, balsa, straws, wood sticks, starched threads, etc.). Only one material is used to design a threshold, a passage, and a gathering space. The maximum footprint area of the site-specific labyrinth model is 8x10 inches.
