| These study models all drew inspiration from the collage in the upper left hand corner. From researching the area and seeing how many different types of lifestyles, backgrounds, and age groups and seeing how an event can bring everyone together brought forth an element of multiple strands combining into one final piece. The only one of the models from above that didn't derive from the sense of coming from many to one is the image on the bottom right, this study model was made from an abstraction of the hands. |
 |
| This abstract model came from the idea that the neighborhood holds so many different types of people and takes them into a journey which leads them all to one final point, Red Hook. |
 |
| In this model I drew inspiration not only from my research but also from fingers crossing each other. I kept the point where it all leads to a final path because I feel as though the neighborhood of Red Hook does this through their existence so I should make that a consistent feeling through the addition of my Recreation Center. |
 |
| Lastly this model, exemplifies the palms embracing that come together to hold the heart of Red Hook, although I don't see this becoming a structure I do see this as a potential piece of art or a type of fountain. |
The study models are real creative.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting moves Alexis. Begin to think about the material connections and how this could translate into real space. What are the spatial opportunities that 'appear' when you bend two pieces around one another, or twist a column etc.. What happens to the resultant light? Shine a directional light source through them and draw the shadow effects on a sheet of paper with a shading pencil. Continue the creative iterations, they will lead to discovery.
ReplyDeleteThese are great. There is a quality in your investigation that is patently tectonic in nature. One way to proceed is to begin to investigate the syntheses of these items into one expression. The first two speak directly into your concept of bridging or connection. The third seems to bring out a secondary concept of protection and enclosure.
ReplyDeleteit is premature to relegate great concepts and thoughts into practical applications such as fountains or secondary/tertiary installations within your project. It could be conceivable that the third model could inform an enveloping scheme wherein the bridging elements are deployed.
