Sem 01 / Studies of Form

Pattern and Geometry


Dushyant Asher


The Pattern and geometry module explored reading of form and deriving a geometrical means to decode the subtleties of the elbow. Its movement, positions, bulges and muscles were studied and traced and proportioned using a geometrical method. These studies and drawings on postures, bulges and its geometrical analysis led them to make a form of the elbow which is geometrically derived and understood in abstract and absolute relationships.


This was a 2 week process that instilled a sense of proportion, scale and decoding form through geometry. While they were involved in studying the form of the elbow, they produced a physical model as a formal output of these studies. They explored materials that supported their geometrical readings, like paper sheets, file card sheets, plastic balls of particular diameters and wires and many more.
