Enveloping Space – Lisa Christin Laue

An RPI studio in which students have study classical geometrical relationships from the Baroque period paired with modern day scripting has yielded some amazing student works.  Much like Andrew Saunders “Re-interpreting the Baroque” studio, Lisa Christin Laue broke down Sant’Ivo alla Sapienza by Borromini. We see a simple investigation into geometrical evolution from its simplest form,  and to the radically pushed ornamental extreme through scripting.  The result looks like a pavilion straight out  of OZ, but the layering and spatial control of interior exterior envelopes is what draws you in.  Check it out after the jump!
