"White Series" The Illustrations shown are a series of conceptual drawings investigating speculative architectural environments. The design of these abstract spaces is influenced and generated in reference to Tectonic design, Composition of Form and use of Complex Systems. The Illustrations for the 'White Series' is a progressive discourse and dialog towards the investigation of topics within the field of Form, Pattern and Non-Euclid Geometries. Within this process, Architectural Design is generally perceived as a symbiosis of art and science. The idea and concept behind the work is to create potential architectural environments through the evolution of abstract graphical elements to complex spatial systems. Key element of the design process is to introduce a framework of Aesthetics and Geometry. While the Aesthetic is defined through Shape, Contrast and Composition, the Geometry is referring to Scale, Space and Dependence. Creative platform for each drawing is a white background on paper which is subsequently infiltrated by basic black lines and geometric elements.
