This parti represents packing as a design strategy for form-making. During this process of form-making, I analyzed how to arrange sixteen squares that stack on top of each other, creating a solid rectangle shape. By removing and craving into the square's shape, the form
started to take on a new identity.
This image shows one side of this packing form. You can see how the craving of the squares creates interesting shapes, voids, and moments where shadows can affects the areas that are newly represented.
This image shows the form in an axonometric. Notice each move; craved or void.
Aligns with the adjacent ones. Creating a continuous connection that goes around this packing form.

This image shows the form from a two-point perspective. Each craved and void
takes on new shapes and forms. Notices here That the form stills continues to look solid. By implementing the Gestalt theory of "Closure." The eyes fill the missing pieces. You see the shapes as they are but also see the rectangle and squares.

This image plugs the form into a new environment. Creating a new relationship with how the form could be used and how its connections to the built environment might affect it.
