Actually the term is polyrhythmic is used in music but there is a connection between architecture, because rhythm is also used in architecture. Rhythm is a form of repetitions, it keeps the structure moving, so polyrhythms are composed of several rhythmic patterns to produce a complex result even if the parts are simple. At first I really forced to understand what the polyrhythms, how I can produce. So, it took long time and need to deal on that to understand clearly. At the first stage, we were expected to search on polyrhythm and grid things than produce a polyrhythmic grid. As you can guess, at studio day, there were a lot of colorful project on critic table, but most of them were wrong as usual. However, after many discussion and fun moment which we set up an orchestra and made polyrhythms with using hand claps, it became more clear. After that we discuss how we apply this polyrhythm on grid. We can use the grids to show polyrhythm. There are many alternative way to overlap grids to make a variation, repetition while producing polyrhythms. Than our second assignment was producing a series of polyrhythmic grids that are going simple to more complex. We to draw it on sketch paper.
These are my trials.
