Copenhagen Business School

When I was still in design school, I was so fortunate to be hired to do some illustration work for CBS – Copenhagen Business School. The job I was asked to do was to illustrate a hovering sculpture/figure (The Desargues stabile) situated at CBS’ newly build library. CBS had an idea to make the sculpture a kind of land mark for the school. Here’s the description of the stulpture:

“The figure is named after a French mathematician, G. Desargues who was the first to develop this figure in mathematical terms. The meaning of Desargues’ geometric figure is that is can either exist in one dimension or in many dimensions or planes, as this work does. When you move around in the library, you will continually see the figure projected as an image against the walls and ceiling of the room. Even though these images are different, they will have the same geometrical structure and will, therefore, be essentially the same. This spatial figure will generate plane images that are identical to their source. The moves and images collide. The sculpture and image are synonymous.”
