[@eamesdesigndog ] offered a unique opportunity to test ongoing design research into camouflage, patterns, perception, direct-to-fabrication processes, and parametric design tools within a limited budget. In a much broader context, the design attempts to capture the shifting reality of the American Dream by translating the iconic picket fence (symbol of stability) into a moving, visually dynamic structure where ones’ vantage point alters its resolution and accessibility.
