The isometric view shows a cube intersected at two different points on its facade. Prominent in this view is the North West corner of the cube that is hollowed by dugging a cone shape out of that corner of the cube. A paraboloid creates an opening in the middle of the cube closer to the ground by slicing it in half. A similar manipulation is observed with the sphere connected to the paraboloid, which is also intersected by the conical shape, thereby connecting the “room” created by the joint spherical and paraboloidal shape to the “exterior” of the cube.
These sketches shows the iterative process that led to the final shape and intersections. The departing idea was a block of cheese like the one commonly portrayed in cartoons. Using shapes such as cones, paraboloids, spheres, and cylinders provided dynamics intersections throughout the cube.
This elevation view shows the relationship between the cone, the cube, and the semi-sphere and how they intersect each other. This view allows for a better appreciation of the exaggerated scale of the cone. It also better showcases the difference in scale between the connected sphere and paraboloid.
These section cut sketches showcase the sometimes complex intersections happening within the hollowed spaces. A desire to connect multiple shapes into a single geometry within the cube can be observed.
The section cut drawing displays the extent of the cone’s projection from the sphere to the top left corner of the cube. We can also see the relationship between the frontal cutout to the rest of the cube.
