The Cryptex is to be a cube, 21 cm on all sides. The subsequent arrangement of 13 lines, 8 planes and 5 volumes and its resultant voids must fill the entire 21 x 21 x 21 cm. This Cryptex is also to be “baseless”. This assignment allows me to oberve and study the Alignment of Concept, Form Expression and Structural Stability.

This area of interest is a portion that my eye is immediately drawn to, it became the basis of my exploration. (Design Drivers)

I am trying to explore the possibilities in form and space making through the use of volumes/mass as a design element. I am to observe the spatial quality in this model.
