EXno.7 : Regulating Lines

Have these two variations (EXno.7a and EXno.7b) printed out (full size, no tape) and hung on the wall with the most relevant three of your ten last EXno.6 edits at the beginning of class.

Now, we are giving up the original underlying grid. We are also now completely giving up in the transition from movement to space. We'll start translating the spatial relationships you are making into a narrative of construction ("a big idea"), as we did as a group with a few different examples in class on Tuesday. Your placement of shapes on the 12 by 12 site will now generate its own grid by projecting regulating lines.

Procedure:
1) Review your last ten edits in EXno.6. Consider the ideas that we discussed and examples. Your work should be engaging the whole area of the site with an hierarchy of spaces comprised of black shapes, white spaces between them, composite black shapes, and composite mixtures defining and containing space.
2) In Form•Z and on the old grid sketch out a new edition of your work.
3) On a layer in Form•Z that is different from the one the black shapes and hatches are on, project from every edge of each shape a very thin black line to the edges of your 12 by 12 site.
4) Reconsider what you've done by turning off your your hatches and studying what you see. Make notes and printout this layout for your own reference.
5) Reconsider what you've done by turning off your your hatches AND the black boundary lines of the shapes and study what you see. Make notes and printout this layout for your own reference.
6) Adjust the current black shapes and their regulating lines to improve and clarify the spatial qualities of your work. Consolidate closely related regulating lines and their requisite shape edges when they seem to be redundant. Adjust to clarify jointure between parts, between spaces, and between composite forms. Adjust to clarify precincts and zones of space that associate across the site and throughout the shapes you are using.

All of this is still simply making use of intentional and crafty difference between white and black.

7) Printout two versions of your resulting exercise on full size 14 by 14 paper (2 sheets with an invisible joint). The first version (EXno.7a) should have the black shapes and the requisite regulating lines emanating from them. The second version (EXno.7b) should have the black shapes turned off so that all is printed are the regulating lines on the sheet.
