We only know this student by pen name, Intelligent Pencil, but once you look at his work you will understand why, and you won’t be able to look away. We get a glimpse into the different exploration and research needed that builds to these works. The project builds from a quick study of power lines creating structure, the Birk+Heilmeyer 2010 Observation Tower in Scholzberg, Czech Republic, and an inverse hyperboloid study. The geometric forms layered create an intensified field condition leaving a rich architectural statement. Check it out after the jump!
