3D Design / Prototyping / Digital Fabrication / Material & Contstruction Design / Visual Problem-Solving
In 3D with Four Planes (2022), I was tasked with exploring three-dimensional form and spatial relationships within strict material and construction constraints. Using four 12-inch squares of Baltic Birch plywood, I needed to ensure that all pieces connected solely through interlocking forms without the use of any glues, nails, or fasteners. I began by generating over 50 hand-drawn concepts from multiple views, experimenting with proportion, balance, and the interplay of planes. To refine how the pieces could fit together both visually and structurally, I created small-scale mockups using Bristol board and chipboard. The final designs were then translated into precise Adobe Illustrator files for CNC routing. This process yielded a carefully constructed plywood object that demonstrates thoughtful consideration of form, negative space, alignment, and composition.
