In the process of creating the 3D version of of my synthetic design combined with the townhouse elevation, I kept the same theme of using each opening as my boundary. From there, I drew lines from each frame across to the opposite end. I then placed my synthetic drawing on each side of the elevation and connected it. One set was laced closer to the top and the other was at the bottom. This created a slanted connection between the two mirroring planes. This was done because of the placement of windows and doors in the house were asymmetrical. The synthetic design was placed closer to where the windows and doors existing. Whatever exists more in mass or form prevails, which would mean that the set of windows on the left hand side would be closer to the synthetic set, while the the bottom portion would not be placed near a synthetic. The dynamic between the two synthetics were much like the idea of boundaries in that it was created by the frames of the window and the doors. This created two sets of direction: a horizontal and vertical force. The two sets of direction in turn creates this set of 3D Axon.

The curves in this model is entirely based off of the flat planes that created a surface, but did not complete into one whole solid. By creating the curve in the structure, there is a base point from where the original curved plane comes from. This allows for its existence. All solids are formed because it is surrounded by other planes. Once a plane has four or more sides, it is completely enclosed to form one solid.

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.
