Abstract
Davis Butner, a senior in the College of Arts & Sciences, explores the acoustical and structural intersections of parabolic designs based on the works of Antoni Gaudi and Iannis Xenakis. His poster, “Parabolic Perception,” features large- and small-scale parabolic forms juxtaposed with sketches and images of real-life architectural models. Key visual elements:
- Sharp, clear graphics
- Mix of sketches and photos
- Black background highlights bright images
This was created for the Center for Undergraduate Research & Fellowships (CURF) Undergraduate Research Symposium.
