LECTURE 7- REFLECTION



These two images from lecture 7-the black box between drawing modelling and representation both help reflect a component of my design. The art of Sciagraphy- the art of projecting or delineating shadows as they fall in nature in both these two images are amazing as the juxtaposition of the black, grey and white helps create the shadow but also unites with the structure to create the one element.

As the shadow of any structure is determined by the structure itself and most importantly the natural light, it will be very important throughout my design process to keep these two components in mind while modelling my client's spaces as shadows not only help add another dimension to the client's spaces but help add some depth. Also, with shadows changing all the time due to the movement of the sun, the shadows projected off the two external structures now have a greater effect.
Hopefully I can model not only a functional space for my clients and a meeting place but a series of spaces which will help project a provocative shadow onto the cliff face and help add another element of degree to my model.

FINAL SUBMISSION

FINAL STAIR DETAILS


Fiona Hall's Studio

As Fiona Hall is an established photographer and sculptor, her art is always 'seductive to the eye and challenging to the intellect'1. Her choice of material, ordinary and natural materials which are transferred into 'complex and allusive objects is critical to her artwork as it engages with contemporary life in intriguing ways'.2

This being Hall's art practice, i have incorporated cantilevered stairs which reduce in length as you enter her studio which add another dimension and with the different stair materials ranging from glass to metal to timber it all combines together to help reflect Hall's core theme of her artwork.

Rosalie Gascoigne's Studio

Rosalie Gascoigne, unlike most artist shot to fame at the age of 57.
Inspired by poets throughout her career, but a poet herself through a different medium, which evident in her placement of objects throughout her work helps achieve her main goal:

'to come at things obliquely so as to catch out their thingliness'.1

Her artwork which is dictated by her surrounding environment such as colours, text and everyday materials is the reason behind the two separate studios which sit on two different levels, one is made from glass and timber, while the other is constructed from solid concrete which also helps create an balance between the two.
The solid concrete stairs which lead Gascoigne from the ground to both of her studios reflects her work, as her artwork is 'never a representation of nature but an interpretation of the feeling which that the landscape evokes'.2
