I did a few sketches combining the cat's cradle and the criss cross forms of bridge cables, and then I darkened the interiors creating different forms and spaces.
These shapes start to create some very dramatic forms. The next step would be to look at the constraints of the site - the neighboring buildings, and how the building responds through the "cats cradle"
These are beautiful sketches. How are you thinking they will inform your design - in the planning and volumes of the bulding, or in the elevations, or something else? The left hand second from top looks like something you might translate into real spaces - and the curves and soft edges might be appropriate for the school for the blind. The top left one looks like you already designed the massing of the building - all folded planes like origami. Why did you pick cats cradle and bridge cable as a starting point for the sketches? What is the next step in your design process? Nice work.
Ms. Gilliland thank you, the reason why I picked the bridge cable and the cat's cradle is because, the site is located in between the Manhattan Bridge and the Brooklyn Bridge, after doing some site analysis I wanted to use the criss cross forms of the cables on the bridges,that's also one of the reason's why I choose to use cat's cradle because the cables on the bridge's always reminded me the game cat's cradle, I thought it'll be interesting to use these two on my design.
