Thresholds

Project Info

THRESHOLD i.e a boundary, door, or point between two things.

This project is written and designed to mark the culmination of a turbulent & transitionary 4.5 years of design study. It serves to reconcile my choice to change fields from Architecture to Graphic Design, on a path to find a space where the disciplines may [possibly] co-exist. By exploring grid systems, vanishing points, spatial theory, form and counter-form, interviewing designers in both fields and learning from ‘The Poetics of Space’ by Gaston Bachelard, I try to answer –

  • How can we translate space to a 2D graphic system?
  • What kinds of tools engage both disciplines?
