AADRL.TEN Book Special Edition Book Case: morpho.X

 

drl10cover_thumb1

YME has been commissioned by the Architectural Association to design and manufacture a special edition book case for “DRL TEN: A DESIGN RESEARCH COMPENDIUM”. The book is a critique of the 10 years of DRL, including thesis projects, articles by the tutors, etc.

X: 1. (Roman numerals) The number 10.    

2. a letter in the Latin alphabet.

3. an unknown variable in algebra. (from wikipedia.com and wiktionary.org)

The concept of morpho.X is derived from the trajectories that X would travel in time through an unknown landscape. As X makes its journey in this unknown landscape, it creates multiple trajectories and fuses with the landscape, adapting its morphology to the changing topography. X becomes the landscape, or the landscape becomes X; the result is a Moire pattern.
