One topic of interest is the issue of layering. Building a three-dimensional composition through layering enables change over time and position. Morphosis' project for Cooper Union used layering throughout the entire building. By doing this, every movement of the eyes or light changes the space and the relationship of the students to that space. This performance piece shows how a simple shadow can be layered over a surface, producing an analytic description of what stairs are. The geometry of stairs breaks up (almost digitizing) shadows and creates a rhythmic acknowledgement of their rise/run relationship. Interpretation of a simple fact - sun on stairs makes for interesting shadows - allows for a design response. Let's see what happens!
