__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION LESSON 1 First the students experiment with constructing various structures using the Logifaces blocks, trying to create interesting spatial rhythms and dynamic lighting connected with the concept of transit space (a passage or tunnel used for travelling through a building). By combining these structures, they create the preliminary plan for the model and then they 3D model the design in space. LESSON 2 The goal is to create a transit space structure by concentrating on how we sense space and form. In the design due to the discontinuities, the Logifaces surface lends itself to randomness in perception. The students perform experiments with the discontinuous Logifaces surface, and search for unstable balance points. LESSON 3 The students place the focus on the function of the transit space design in the Logifaces architectural construction.
