Architectural drawings of plan and elevation offer a given amount of information. Somewhere between the architectural drawing and the built space, there is potential for another structure which gets forfeited between representation and construction. The standard method of orthographic projection is used as a base to develop this intermediate zone. It is this space, whether it is a drawing one lives in, or a construction that unfolds to become a drawing, which I am looking for.
A chair is a personal element one brings to an interior. A question is asked:
How can the personal object, the chair, re-configure the orthographic floor plan?
The tailor uses darts which allow a flat pattern to become a volume. The techniques used by the tailor are applied to the unfolding of a chair which creates darts in the "chair plan", and in turn, the floor. The plan is altered, giving priority to the personal object in the conventional orthographic drawing.
