Timber Frame

The purpose of the project was to ultimately challenge the notion of up and down within the timber frame structures. To do this I took the most literal approach and created two separate planes. One horizontal, spanning across the four columns and designed to appear solid yet allowing light to penetrate through a create an interesting shadow effect. This horizontal plane was broken by two connected beams, which cut through the plane on an angle, and as with the horizontal plane, oriented toward the middle of Burchard Plaza.
