this slots into one of the base pieces previously posted.

RENDERED BOX.

The resulting box would house a light in either half which would cause a semi opaque appearance giving clues as to what is contained inside but not giving it away entirely.

To be simple and ambiguous from the exterior.
To give clues as to the interior but not to give it away entirely.

[link to preston.]
Architectural envelope to be porous.
An open valve.
A facilitator.

This to be achieved through use of varying levels of density that is visible through use of light travelling through plastic [hence step experiment].

Layers to be offset in multiple directions + clip together to create regular exterior form but a fragmented and angular interior that houses the angular/stepped jewellery

Jewellery to become lost in box
As Preston aims to dissolve traditional relationship between body and site.
Architectural form to become a riparian edge.
Blurring between body and landscape.
As occurs when a body is submersed in water.

BOX PROTOTYPE ONE.

This detail is an investigation into a segmented facade that slots together down a corner face. at this point i am just aiming to see how much it is affected by light and to refine the connections between pieces. I envisage that these will form a secondary surface inside of an outer semi-opaque shell and be extended on one axis so as to form various layers of stacked compartments.

LIGHT/DENSITY TEST.

It is important at this stage to know just how much the printed plastic is permeated by light.

For this reason I printed a simple stepped box in increments of 2mm.

THE BOX: IMAGE [2].

thinking about how the image can be achieved in three dimensions using a series of interlocking volumes or surfaces, maybe enclosed within a semi-opaque shell.

THE BOX: IMAGE.

make an image that represents the first moment of or the brief for your jewellery box.

the second image relates more to the work of julianna preston as it gives clues as to what is occurring inside but not entirely. it appears to be permeable by light and therefore is affected by both the site in which it is placed and what occupies it inside.
