CUBE ROTATIONS

WARM-UP EXERCISES

THIS WARM-UP MODEL SHOWS A ROTATION WITHIN ITS STRUCTURE. THE CONCEPT COMES FROM ONE OF THE DRILLS POSTED PREVIOUSLY AND SHOWS THE DIFFERENT CURVES AND INTERESTING SPACES CREATED BY ROTATING THE STRUCTURE. THIS IS ALSO SHOWN IN THE DRILL WHICH SHOWS HOW THE PLAY DEVELOPS AS THE BALL IS ROTATED FROM PLAYER TO PLAYER.

CONCEPTS

MY IDEAS COME FROM SOCCER PLAYS/DRILLS USED IN THE FIELD. I WANT TO SHOW THE RELATION BETWEEN THE FUNCTIONS OF MY STRUCTURE AND THE PLAYS USED IN THE SOCCER FIELD. THE PLAYS HAVE VARIATIONS AND CAN DEVELOP INTO MORE DEPENDING ON THE PLAYERS, THE SAME WITH MY STRUCTURE IT HAS DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS AND DEPENDING ON THE VISITORS IT CAN HAVE MANY DIFFERENT EXPERIENCES.
