Pictured are examples of Dordt College student work from the Three-Dimensional Design course this semester. Artist / designer Wucius Wong writes in his book, Principles of Form and Design: Three-Dimensional Design that: “All formal two-dimensional structures can become wall structures with the addition of some depth, and their structural sub-divisions can be made into spatial cells.” (1)
The design shown above is the systematic arrangement of cubical spatial cells. The unit forms are composed of slightly curled strips with the cut-out square that join the two edges of the spatial cell to construct an alternating angle.

The wall structure in this design relies on the contrasting arrangement and modification of spatial cells. Unit forms are cut-out tear-drop triangular negative shapes, which allows the viewer to see through the spatial cells.

The projections of spatial cells in this design creates a strong impact as indicated in this vantage point. Unit forms are the open ends of the cells, which are accentuated by the suggestion of a tessellation-like structure. This pattern seems reminiscent of Friedrich Froebel’s “The Twelfth Gift”
