Descriptive Geometry

Spring 2021
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Professor James Lowder

Rotations, intersections, boolean operations, deformations and movement can be captured by descriptive geometry. Critical analyses of architecture, objects, and perception are produced through hand-drawn, graphic calculation techniques. 

Top to bottom: 1) Rotation and return of geometry using spherical trigonometry methods, 2) Intersection of a Toblerone and its box, 3) Graphically calculated stages of opening an umbrella, 4) Fosbury Flop interpolation 5) Parallel line composition 6) Multiplication of two curves to form a resultant 7) SANAA Glass Pavilion 8) Cheese intersection 9) Rotation 10) Cheese intersection 2.0
