Texture

These texture studies are a way to experiment with designing texture that is embedded within a material as a way to discuss ornament. The intent is to combine the texture studies with the screen studies in a final screen, using the texture where material has not been completely removed. The final piece will be cut out of plywood, taking advantage of the different colors of the layers that comprise the plywood. These studies result in a flat look when there is no direct sun, and the added color of the wood will create more variation in the textures when sunlight is limited. The textures were designed using Grasshopper in Rhino as well as height fields in Rhino and cut out of MDF.
