Layered Radiance

Spring 2023

This project investigates form, light, and structural rhythm through iterative digital and physical modeling, culminating in a final tower composed of stacked Plexiglas plates. Starting from charcoal sketches and cardboard prototypes, the design evolved through digital transformations that tested rotation, scaling, and negative space. The final model plays with translucency and refraction, using Plexiglas to accentuate light play and shadow projection. The layered construction emphasizes vertical flow while integrating organic curvature and density shifts, offering an architectural language that’s both sculptural and systematic.
