Bone:Veil:Field

3D Print and Acrylic

Instructor: Karel Klein
Using a machine learning model trained on fish bones and prompted with architectural elements from the Case Study House #10, this project produces a series of bone-like components that balance between structure and ornament. Slender arms extend from these components, suspending semi transparent veils, which drift through space at varying distances. These veils soften the architectural boundaries, forming responsive thresholds that define space without fully enclosing it. Beneath this suspended system, the ground is engraved with lines that radiate out from each bone, mapping invisible fields of proximity, intensity, and spatial pressure. Together, the bones, veils, and field construct an architecture that operates through contrast: fixed and flexible, rigid and translucent, encoded and atmospheric.
