Assignment No. 2

Centralized Scheme
In this scheme, I attempted to create a composition that is as centrally-organized as possible, given the long site and required components in the kit of parts. The composition is symmetrical in both the long and short directions with ones attention drawn toward the cluster of the three large cubes in the center of the design.

Immersive view: looking along the top of the glass box, along the edge of the narrow solid box.

Another immersive view: looking along the edge of the glass box from the level of the base.


Distributed Scheme
In order to make this composition decentralized, I placed the three large cubes and some of the small cubes in a rhythmic pattern, so that attention would not be drawn to any one part of the composition in particular.

Immersive view: looking upwards inside one end of the glass box.

A second immersive view: looking out through the glass box from one of the spaces between two large cubes.


Hybrid Scheme
For this scheme, I made the composition symmetrical from the long side with a fairly massive grouping of several small cubes and one of the large cubes, drawing your attention to this center. However, I tried to divide this attention to some extent with the large, raised cubes on either side of central figure, creating a composition with elements of both centralized and distributed schemes.

Immersive view: a shot down the narrow corridor between the long, narrow box and some of the small cubes.

Another immersive view: showing the view from the top of the narrow box and within the glass box.
