ESCAPING FLATLAND
after the suggestions from the jury, and some ideas from observation of the projects at the open jury, my lighting system is developing. I would like it to function according to the same ideas but become more of a 'space creator'...it is too flat, too much of a surface...the challenge of architecture is to see things as volumes, but how easy is it to end up reasoning the way we see, instead? did some useful reading "envisioning information", good reminder.
first attempt, same identical principle, but curves rather than flat folds...could be flexible material and guitar string (?) frame. Still too close to my regular pattern though, still doesn't work, just another surface.
second attempt.These are sketches, but it is not the shape I am looking for, rather a volume made by the closure of a surface, making the inside light and the outside dark. when they open they overflow onto the adjacent shapes.
The disposition of them must work so that you can dig deeper, open one and get to the one under it and open that too, creating tunnels, wholes of light.
really no where close to the final shape, but am using it to find out how this would work.
this diagram is important for the manifesto:it will be turned into a graphical drawing for the portfolio, but tried to make it as clear as possible for myself first. Will have explanation of various roles if it becomes page for manifesto.
