grid analysis
Erik Brandt
Minneapolis College of Art and Design
A grid was established by each student after
analysis and documentation of columns and
baselines from pages of the
New York Times
(Fig
11- 51
). The grid was then reconstructed
digitally, and carefully selected modules
within it were filled with three primary
colors. Students then built upon this initial
composition by mixing and adding more
colors, creating many variations (Fig.
11- 52
).
A single colored grid was then reproduced
with paint on paper (Figs.
11- 53
and
11- 54
).
Exploring projected and reflected light
as it inhabits and translates a grid of each
students' own construct demonstrates a
process for architectural page analysis and
offers the opportunity to create experimental
form from a relatively humble and simple
source.
