Indexical Sequence

The next step was to create an indexical sequence which allowed me to expand on the organizing principles I discovered in my formal analysis. This was hand drawn and then rendered in Rhino.

I found that the irregular terrace compared to the regular rooms create two overlapping grids, one orthogonal and the other curvilinear. These two conflicting grids is what made the Sea Lane House interesting.  I based my indexical sequence off of this idea.

In my indexical I expanded and multiplied the L forms of the precedent house both vertically and horizontally.  This was used as a guide for the horizontal lines surrounding the forms creating a orthogonal grid. The curvilinear lines that form the other grid are vertical and are also based off the rectangular forms. These two intersecting grids were generated in the second diagram but then multiplied in the third.
