Quilt Interpretation.
PROJECT 04 / 17
SHEETS 14–16
Geometric patterns become layered models, moving from a quilt study to an exploration of solid and open form.
Architectural summary
A quilt’s stepped geometry becomes the starting point for a sequence of physical models. Diagonal panels, slender grids, and triangular openings translate the flat pattern into layers of solid and open form. Later models combine projecting brown and white planes, allowing the pattern to read differently from the front and from oblique views.
Pattern & First Studies
PORTFOLIO SHEET 14Quilt Pattern Reference Study
The quilt reference presents stepped blue-green and pale shapes within a border, providing a visible pattern of diagonals, repetition, and contrasting geometric fields.

Model Development
PORTFOLIO SHEET 15Layered Pattern Model Study
A physical study translates the quilt’s geometry into diagonal panels over an open grid, creating alternating areas of solid surface and visible depth.
Open Frame Pattern Study
This physical model uses triangular openings and angled panels within a rectangular arrangement, exposing the supporting frame between the larger solid pieces.
Diagonal Panels over Grid
A frontal model view highlights diagonal panels placed across a slender grid, with offset edges and open gaps producing a layered geometric pattern.
White Relief Pattern Study
A white physical model develops the pattern as a shallow relief, with folded planes, triangular voids, and exposed layered edges describing depth.

Combined Final Model
PORTFOLIO SHEET 16Combined Geometric Model View
The combined physical model brings brown and white planes into a deeper assembly, with projecting surfaces and open frames extending the original pattern spatially.
Combined Model Side View
An angled view of the combined model reveals overlapping panels and staggered projections, showing how the geometric pattern changes when viewed from the side.
