Literal Transparency or Phenomenal Transparency? 

Interpreting the text by Colin Rowe and Robert Slutzky- Transparency

Cubist artists use layering to create depth and dimension in their 2D paintings- some architects also use this type of phenomenal transparency within their architecture.

As a year group we used shapes to experiment with this transparency by creating layering using different forms. It is interesting to see how each individual interprets this phenomenal transparency.
