Fenced in

This proposed project plays with the idea of a traditional wood fence. Back yard fences are a staple in the suburban American home, they provide separation and privacy for owners while simultaneously offering a limited yet intimate connection to neighboring yards. They are both a divider and connector. This script takes the archetypal building unit of a standard back yard fence and injects it with a sinusoid algorithm. This blending effect creates fragmented views which play on the idea of simultaneous separation and connection while offering a novel wood slat pattern. While this concept gives a chance to enhance the mundane boundary between you and your neighbor, it still won't keep him from borrowing your stuff.
