Romare Bearden Park Context Free Design

Romare Bearden Park Context Free Design

Due to the collage influence from Bearden, I decided that some simple layering could bring out a parti that could describe a similar process to which collage artists work.  The background is a grid of layered circles, squares and triangles.  Each of these figures is rotated randomly and then overlaid with copies of that same grid.  The grid is then scaled, copied, and rotated to create a variety of densities and engaging boundary for the park.  For the walls of the park, I was thinking along the lines of Mies' Brick  Country House.  The lines are randomly rotated and translated away from the original line to fill the park space.  Here, the walls/paths are collected inside of the more densely packed middle section of park.
