36 Textures from Dark to Light

Mechanism for Gathering and Community

~ Ropes are a strong tool for tying things together. Having a public spaces that can bring people together can gather community ~

A Mechanism for Marrying Form and Function

~ There are three elements in this texture. The bounding lines serve as the mechanism, they influence the curved outer-lines (the form) which dictate the infill lines (the function) ~

A Mechanism for Marrying Community, Form and Function

~ The interplay between the layers of lines in this texture represent how community, form and function influence one another to create something fuller and richer ~

The Marriage of Form and Function

~ This texture is inspired by the protective frame of a desk fan. In my opinion it is a good example of marriage of form and function, as the frame protects people from the blades of the fan and as a result of this function it has a beautiful criss-cross effect ~

A Mechanism for Gathering Community

~ This texture is a reflection of how community is brought together. It is an abstraction of the relationships between individual members of a community ~

A Mechanism for Marrying Community, Form and Function

~ Once again, this texture is about bringing together elements and connecting them in a way that highlights their individual qualities whilst creating something more beautiful as a whole ~

To be Used in Model

Dark

Developed from my electroliquid aggregation sentence, this texture depicts the macro purpose for my tram stop: to show that form and function can harmonise and create a space that is perfect for gathering the community, even if it is in a small way.

Light

The simplicity of this texture is what made me want to use it on my tram stop, partly because of the brief proposing that architecture can be developed from simple forms and partly because it clearly shows the 'rope' shape. 

Medium

Because this texture was developed as an abstraction of something that is designed to protect, I thought this texture would be befitting on a structure that is designed to shelter.
