Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Andrew Colopy

Top Heavy is a set of model display pedestals designed for a school of architecture. Initiated to fulfill a practical need, the project serves as a modest examination into the limits of shape as an underlying construct and criteria with respect to a project’s materialization. Shape in this context is understood as a discreet planar area or volume.1 Such criteria formed the basis on which design decisions were structured and evaluated, establishing two initial parameters: where possible, the design would be made from plastic sheet materials and would be CNC-milled or laser-cut.
