From something 2D to something 3D. It is something that has occupied me since I was 14, when I started studying architecture in secondary school. Make a model from a flat plan. The steps towards it and the making of the construction itself. For this project I am using a font that I designed during my Visual Design studies in Ghent.

I look at how I can create a 3D shape from these flat, combined shapes, which make up this font. I initially do this using sketches. In this font, each letter consists of positive shapes and negative residual spaces. What happens if I give the same attention to both the positive shapes and residual spaces in my translation into the three-dimensional image?

Following the sketches, I develop technical drawings and computer renders. From there, the fonts are shaped with plate and wire. The aim is to build constructions, just as architectural models can be created from a floor plan in architecture. Each letter becomes like a house.
