“Rhythmic Space” showcases a curated series of Woodbury students’ analytical drawings of case study buildings composed of complex vaulted-ceilings. The series of buildings portrayed here go as far back as the thirteen century, from locations as far apart as Kashan on the Persian Gulf to Stargard Szczecinski on the Baltic, and employ a wide range of spatial structures and tessellation, encompassing cellular vaulting, fan-vaulting, curved ribbing, and muqarnas, while producing figural motifs ranging from “diamonds” to “petals.” While disparate in their geographical and historical origins, Architecturally they offer the most advanced examples of spatial composition by means of geometrical and formal experimentation.
