Fabricated Cathedral
Making Returns to Theory
A proposal for the re-purposing of the system developed in Comatose into an interior order for a cathedral. The script used to create the column wrapping technique started as an alteration from the script developed in Comatose. Each column on one side of the cathedral is created from a separate run of the script and mirrored to create symmetry down the main aisle of the cathedral. The script starts on the ground plane and develops along the Z-axis until it nears its vertical limit and branches out. This was done to call back to the traditional vault typology of the cathedral. The inspiration for the piece came from the awe and wonder of historical religious interiors, which is found less in contemporary religious work in favor of ease of construction and budget. The system of fabrication used in Comatose was both budget friendly and accessible for amateur welders (ourselves).

This rendering became an individual supporting research element in the capstone presentation of Comatose. My three group members from Comatose chose to independently research alterations of our script to become an airport, furniture and sound.
