Abstract
Topology teaches us that the two dimensional plane and three
dimensional space have a comparable structure. In fact, this
apparent parallel is deeply rooted in our consciousness and is
applied in many domains, including various fields in the design
industry, through the use of such tools as descriptive geometry
and perspective drawing. From the particular point of view of
the designer, however, this parallel in structure has often been
simplified to plans, sections and elevations i.e. 2-D slices
through a 3-D object. It has therefore not been an integral part of
the design process, but rather a tool of representation of the
design process.
In the following paper, the relationship between plane and space
will be explored as a design element. The question will be
answered whether it is possible, starting with a 2-dimensional
system of design parameters, to construct a 3-dimensional object
based on the spatial equivalents of the initial parameters. To
illustrate this process, the painting Opus 84 of Hans Hinterreiter
(1902-1992), a Swiss Concrete painter, will be re-interpreted in
space.
