- Description
- This was a graduate student project by David Ruffing for Beth Blostein's ARCH 341 course, Autumn 2005. This group project explored how a single material could be manipulated to act as both a skin and a structure. Using my initial idea of a continuous pattern of stacked dowels to generate both skin and structure, we constructed a wall from recycled cardboard carpet tubes. Using different tube configurations, we were able to produce varying wall transparencies and to explore types of spatial enclosures. We allowed the nature of the material to produce these affects. ---- David Ruffing This work is a part of the online collections of the Knowlton School of Architecture Student Archives, The Ohio State University. It is part of an effort to make accessible student work ranging from the first student that graduated from the program in 1903 to the present. The effort to preserve and digitize drawings in the Student Archives was sponsored in part by the Graham Foundation.
