CAT Thesis Project

The goal of this project is to combine sculpture and architecture in a meaningful, aesthetic, and useful manner. Large scale sculpture and architecture, both landscape and structural, are being designed to work together to lead people through the space and to focus their vision on spots of importance. Computer 3D modeling is going to be used to create the a virtual copy of the environment so that a user can navigate through the space and be able to experience it to scale without it actually existing full size physically. The idea behind it is have sculpture and architecture not just be next to each other, but rather have them connected to each other and benefitting each other equally. This will be shown through the design of an architectural landscape, a large building, and two large scale sculptures, one inside the building and one outside. This will be represented in a variety of scaled physical models and the computer model.
