Model 2 - Phase #3
However, as my though process continued, my model kept ivolving. I figured out that I want to focus on the light more than anything. I want to create different openings in which light changes through out the day. By creating this wall made out of elements, I can not only focus on the different lights produced but also on the different height of every element. Furthermore, in order to be consistent with this 'style', I created the openings with similar shapes in the opposite plane. Moreover, I did the sitting place like a 'box' in order to support's the poems idea that we do not look for greatness unless we are asked to. In this way, the reader can understand the poem throught the architecture that surrounds him.

Finding your interest in focusing the light is an interesting exploration of the poem because it gets past the direct spatial references in the poem and looks more at its message, which is exactly what you are gleaning from the work. I see what you are attempting with the model, and I think that getting the viewer to really see in a different way, or to look past, or through, the obvious is a rich architectural exploration. However, I feel there was something more powerful in the simplistic formal language or your earlier models, even if they were lacking the benefit or a more clarified concept. The simple forms makes one assume that they are placed very intentionally and try to decipher the message in their arrangement.
ReplyDeleteWhen working with lighting, especially the effect of apertures, the photographs of the spaces are very important. The images above show an attempt to communicate the effects of your design's ineraction with light, but do not show what the use experience might be like, and there is not enough control of the light to really be helpful to you or to critics. Be very intentional about your photos, take a little extra time to shoot them in an environment with very controlled lighting (like a dark room with one light source) and an empty background.
I would also suggest looking at the work of James Turrel, Steven Holl, and Todao Ando.
