Cube-based Shelter - Part 2 of Geocentric Design Code
Cube-based Shelter - Part 2 of Geocentric Design Code
Although the cuboda exhibits a dualistic nature, it also poses the plane and principle to build a cube of homogeneous space-filling potential. Such oneness is reinforced by basing a pair celestial cubes on the cuboda's equatorial squares, wherefrom the prime cube projects its essence to earth. Meanwhile the opposing cube undergoes the latitudinal positioning necessary for a direct ground projection to form the basis of an infrastructural grid. The two projections are then reconstituted in an architectural framework that exhibits sublime, practical, and strong sustainability attributes.
A final phase of rational accretion yields a form whose characteristic space filling oneness is broken by differing celestial projections to earth - where they are reunited as architectural guidelines.
The above gallery is a Cube-based Shelter preview explained by the sequential topics below:
1.The (Accreted) Cube - cubodal duality; random accretion scenario; cubodal squares; phase 2 accretion; dual orthogonality; orthogonal plane formation; cube formation
2.Celestial Projection - celestial cubes; polar square conflicts; equatorial distinguishability; prime equatorial earth projection; planar incidences; latitude equivalence
3.Co-Cube Break - latitudinal positioning; direct projection; representative plane orientations; co-cubes' co-plane; rectilinear conventionality; polar-rotational grid
4.Architectural Reconstitution - projection juxtapositions; floor and wall guidelines; prime cube roof guidelines; rotated cubes' verticality effect; solar power attributes
