Stereotomy the Net: Intersecting Shapes & Forms with Patrick Moore

July 20-21, 2024

$425.00

About this Class

One effective approach to mastering stereotomy involves hands-on practice with net models. A net represents the flattened surface of an object that can be folded to recreate its 3D form. Beginners start by creating nets for basic shapes like cubes, pyramids, irregular pyramids, as well as single and double curved surfaces. This learning journey progresses to designing roof structures. Projects often feature nets for irregular pitched roofs with hips, valleys, and curved surfaces. This practice is advantageous as it enhances the brain’s ability to visualize the overall size and shape of a design clearly before actual construction, serving as a mental exercise. It all begins with an idea envisioned in the mind. To create these net surfaces, students utilize materials like paper and foam board. This workshop is ideal for professionals and enthusiasts in architecture, design, carpentry, general contracting, furniture making, and anyone passionate about creating and designing structures.
