Experimental model making

During rotation three, the idea of non - experience of a space by a user and the relationship that this concept had with architectural voids, defined the way that I observed people using spaces.

 

 

 

Storyboarding - interior spaces

During rotation two, the concept of fractured narrative in transitional spaces became apparent to me. Experiencing architectural spaces is dependent on how well a user is able to respond to the architectural devices used to script the spatial sequences, in many transitional spaces, narrative appeared to break down at the thresholds of specific use spaces, before fracturing completely, (in most cases interpersonal interactions in the transitional zones determined to a stronger extent than the architectural devices the re-direction of narrative.)

 Note - I was unable to locate the final drawings for this rotation as they are locked in the sessional staff offices area.

Storyboarding - (re)presenting representations

During rotation one, I was interested in the idea of mapping the relationship that a user has with an architectural space, through examining the scale and volume of the space and it's effect on the user's emotional and behavioral response. Since the site contained a series of different spaces, I employed a collision mapping method to generate a composite drawing, which in turn generated the model.

The two embracing forms were intended to mimic intimacy as well as generating tension through their differing scale and volume in relation to each other.The static exterior vs the dynamic interior created movement and invited viewers to play, and thus generate their own reading of the mapped spaces.
