"Black or white, or white on black" - Generating the "field" conditions.

I am observing the behavior of these modular variations by generating patterns inherent from their one on one interaction. The resulting patterns generated a figure ground interface where the black (positive areas) and white (negative) areas meet but with a certain heirarchy and order to it. I concluded that these figure ground conditions contain infinite opportunities of study, and when translated into an architectural concept, the rigidity of the pattern, and its heirarchy in composition reminds me of an urban condition.

Site: This behavior reflects an urban context. Orthogonal matrices, highly ordered in its intersections, shifts and variations. In terms of site I am going to propose an urban context in a macro level for now, perhaps my site is a city, an existing where these conditions comply or something completely generated, a theoretical spatial landscape.

Physical Model: I designed the modules and placed its idea and concepts in a physical setting (the three-dimensional field) On the field generated on paper, it has its limits, and now seeing this configure itself in three dimensions I feel leads to more exciting studies on what this field condition can do and react to.


Variation with added modular pieces:



From observing what occurs in the model, I had not realize there was more to see on what was generated in the two dimensional plane, therefore more questions now arise for me:

What occurs in these micro variations?
If we were to dive deep into its smaller inter-relations,

how does one define the void now?

How does one define the space? and if so, how does it all fit together and relate to one entity? Or perhaps there is more than one.
