In this series of intensives, we will explore the theme of Space and Form and examine two distinct approaches to solving graphic problems: geometric simplification and plastic complication.
As these approaches are polar opposites, the outcome is highly dependent on the initial starting point. Do we begin by organizing the plastic form and then move on to geometry, structure, and hierarchy? Alternatively, do we start by organizing the format of the workspace and determining its metrics to create a graphic idiom?
In the first case, we start with plasticity and move towards geometry, while in the second case, we begin with geometry and move towards plasticity.
