STUDY MODELS

 

In this model I tried to show Chaos vs. calm. If you look at the right of the model you see chaos,use of different materials, extrusion, every material takes your eye to a different direction. There is too much going on but if you look at the left you see one simple shape where you can rest your eyes.



This model shows the concept of chaos vs. calm. Use of different materials put together on the left make you restless. On the other hand on the right there is a mesh that is simply shaped and shows elegance.



In this model I tried to show Active/ Alive. The big mesh creates a big wave showing movement and if somethings moving it is active. The wire reminds me of energy which travels in spiral motion which makes it look alive.



This model shows Alive/Active. to my understanding everything that moves is alive so I tried to show movement through this model. There is a vertical shape that is still and this spiral shape that wraps it and changes the thickness. It makes your eye move point to another.



In this model I tried to show private vs. public. The front of the model shows this big opening which is very welcoming and public. While in the back the mesh and the fabric creates a shadow which makes it look more private.



In this model I tried to show private vs. public. The wood block is a solid shape which is very public because you cant see through it. If you look at the square shape in the front in is covered by the mes but you can still see through which makes it more public.

My impression of the site
When I went to visit the site I observed the "rusty" building which looked very messy. Across from it I saw some green spaces and water. It felt chaotic yet very calm.


Alive/ Active
I find art very fascinating. It tells a story which makes it alive. I used different patterns to show motion.


Program Collage
My collage is based on the programs of educational facility of music and performance art center. I incorporated the ideas of music halls, live performances, rooftop bar and the view.



Revised Program Collage
I revised my program collage because according to the comments the original program collage was too literal. I tried to show public vs. private. As the spiral shape increases/ it opens up it goes from private to public. The veins show the pathways, how spaces connect with one another.
