For the second assignment, we were asked to use Duchamp and Cornell Boîte-en-Valise as inspirations for exploring the volume of the UNAM library. The library is a box, just as Duchamps containers, whose only limitation in terms of special qualities is the form of the container. In this assignment we had to figure out what could happen inside the volumes, but to keep in mind that the box is like a book, the exterior hides but also expresses what could happen on the inside.
I began by looking at the images of Duchamp and Cornell, and began sketching how they divided the volume and how the spatial qualities were expressed. The image on the right is Cornells Boîte-en-Valise.
By looking at the facades of the UNAM library, I extracted graphic elements and tried to represent that in model.
