I believe the most significant moment of transformation occurred shortly after the inclusion of diagonal lines in the synthetic drawing set. The direct result of this was the formation of new geometrical shapes. Entirely unexpected, I had started from something that was more linear in the 90-degree and 180-degree spectrum and ended up with something with a sense of ordered playfulness. As this new diagonal element was introduced into my project, I exploited it and created new shapes. Although, I am not fond of the final outcome, I do find it intriguing that such a design can result from the combination of 90 and 180-degree lines with several diagonal lines.

In the translation process from 2D to 3D, I chose my 5^th layer, as I did not like the result of my final layer. I decided on the 5^th layer, because it displayed more of the process than my final layer. Through this layer, I had chosen several lines to outline in bold. Due to this decision, I created an interesting 3D effect on the 2D drawing. Although this is not shown too well on my rhino drawing, I like the effect that it has on paper and will further include it in my future design. I like the idea of how hierarchy can play a role in the creation of different space.
