The project
Contour Lines is an educational project based on the representation of contour lines. Archicercle made the pieces using laser cutting, translating flat outlines into layered relief forms.
Irregular profiles are arranged in layers. The changing outlines from one layer to the next create a stepped volume, with each level remaining visible as part of the relief.
The pieces are made from 10 mm MDF using laser cutting. The documented representations share the same material and thickness, while the geometry of their profiles defines the different topographic forms.
The project includes both stacked arrangements and separate layers. This layout helps explain the relationship between a flat piece and the assembled volume, keeping its constituent parts visible.
