Control Points
co-authored with Daniel Rauchwerger for Harvard Design Magazine No. 41
“Control points are the weighted points used to shape a line or surface when designing in Rhino. They are not located directly on the line or the surface, but define it from a distance. This distance between control point and line is similar to the gap inherent in housing design. Living is by nature unpredictable and idiosyncratic. Yet in designing housing there is a tension between this unpredictability and our aspirations to frame spaces of inhabitation with a degree of control and intention. Rather than prescribing inhabitation, a range of architectural devices act as spatial cues for living - a designed point of some control at some distance.”
