The first architectural design project I did was while I attended some classes at Hillsborough Community College in Tampa, Florida. This project had many limitations: must use two each of the five primary shapes (cube, orb, pyramid, cone, cylinder); each of the shapes must be 3″ in diameter; each shape must be white; shapes could be stacked no higher than three. These limits made for an interesting study.

In the end, I found myself playing and exploring with the linear relationships of the objects. This lead me to be sensitive to the proportional aspects of each shape. The most interesting piece was how each object created both negative space as well as shadowing.
