process - a lego approach
i knew i wanted to create pieces that could build a sexier sidewalk but since i have limited experience
as designer, i decided to start first with simple but flexible pieces rather than a vision of what i wanted
the outcome to look like. i used inkscape to create some simple but flexible pieces that could be joined
in a variety of ways e.g. 2-dimensionally like a puzzle and at a variety of angles 3-dimensionally. i created
different sized holes and a variety of shapes without any intention of how they might be used. finally, since
i was unsure of the thickness of the cardboard, i did a couple of iterations in real-time when i saw how the
pieces fit together.
