ARCH 642 Invisible Cities


When reading about the city and the sky, I started imagining how you could bring the city level up closer to the sky. I envisioned terraces towering over a city that create a long but meaningful journey up, with connections along the way and multiple paths to choose from. 


One of the city and the sky chapters discussed a city that had a very complex and confusing road system, but if you stood in one specific spot in the city, the paths would all make sense, This model is a conceptual idea representing finding order in chaos. Bright colors, multiple shapes and scales, and blocked views make this environment difficult to travel through, but if you recognize that the patterns on the vertical surfaces are the same as the pattern on the horizontal surface, you can begin to understand the repetition.
