For this project I wanted to bridge the gap between furniture design and architecture. I have had a strong interest in the principles of architecture and design for a long time and this was cultivated through my time at SCAD. I decided early on that I wanted to explore the principles of architecture in my senior project. More than anything else I wanted to look at the ideas of proportion, alignment, scale and hierarchy.I became interested in the idea of creating a “kit-of-parts” system which could be used in my senior collection. The kit-of-parts has been used in architecture for centuries in some form or another. for the ancients, it was used in the orders of ionic, doric, and corinthian. For modernists, the best example of this idea can be seen in the “Five Points” of a new architecture which was introduced by Le Corbusier. Overall, this concept means creating a system of forms which can be used to create spaces and new forms. To create this new kit-of-parts, I wanted to use the form of the cuboid structure and its three different faces for three different furniture pieces. To comply with the requirements for this project, this idea evolved into three different cuboids, each with different functions depending on the face which is placed on the ground.
