BOOKS-Theory
Predicate Empathy:Architecture of a Progressive Dream
Individual Variations: artifacts of the printing process
Form and Content: A series of 5 novellas that combines a democratic ideal with a complementary art medium.
Parallel Topography: 3D Line Drawing and Community
40 Pages 9 1/2” x 11”
Form: a translation of line drawing techniques into an architectural language
Content: community as an environment that suggests empathy; a series of overlapping spaces
Lines: Depth of field: thick, thin, light, dark, colored lines
Forms: Solid: opaque; Space: transparent; overlapping
Movement: spatial displacement is created by a form in a transparent void
Abstraction: increases to a symbol

Linear Approximation: 3D Sketches and Tolerance
50 Pages 9 1/2” x 11”
Form: a translation of sketch techniques into an architectural language
Content: an environment that suggests tolerance as an increase in empathy; a contraction of overlapping spaces
Lines: Discontinuous Lines: parallel points; Light Lines: parallel lines; Medium Lines: parallel planes;
Heavy Lines: continuous forms
Erasures: Truncated: abbreviated points, lines, planes, and forms; Open: offset, parallel planes; Closed: offset, parallel forms
Tone: Light Color: forms defined by points, lines; Dark Color: forms defined by planes, forms
Sketch: Vignette: a partial extrapolation of forms; Frame: a stepped solid composed of a decreasing number of lines

Grayscale: 3D Sculpture and Humility
38 Pages 9 1/2” x 11”
Form: a translation of sculptural techniques into an architectural language
Content: an environment that suggests humility as off-center empathy; an eccentric void of overlapping spaces
Mass: size of form
Density: Light Tone: least dense; Dark Tone: most dense
Interior Space: Angular Forms: least amount of interior void; Parallel Forms: intermediate amount of interior void; Curved Forms: most amount of interior void
Sculpting: Faceting: angled form where the size of the void is related to the mass and the density of the
Carving: parallel forms generate the least number of forms, angular forms generate an intermediate form; number of forms, curvilinear generate the most number of forms
Molding: a matrix that is composed of rectilinear volumes that surrounds forms and voids

Content: an environment that suggests equality as inclusive empathy; a surround of overlapping spaces
Color: gray forms resolve the geometry of the colored forms
Assemblage: basic unit is the colored and gray forms
Placement: location and direction in space is created with stepped forms
Frame: a volume of space that is defined by points in between assemblages
