Tracking Movement_Transforming Space
This is my final image for the review of Project B. My intentions have changed along the way, so I thought I’d update the proposal in the image as well.
_Storyboard
For this intervention I interpreted the car video as the symbol for the urban environment due to the speed , movement and lights of the cars and I propose architectural framings of the scenes using the image of the traffic as abstract movement of lights and distortions as the background.
My intention is to research the relation between architecture and the urban environment through the framing possibilities. Seeing the architectural object as a part of the urban environment being influenced and influencing by its forms.
The exploration of different size openings of the architectural object and the ratio of what’s inside and outside and how they relate is my goal.
Exercise B_week 1
This exercise will seek to examine the essence of Hornbake Plaza, specifically its transitory nature. As the video was shot on a cold day, rather than in the spring when the space is used as a gathering spot, almost all of the activity within the space was movement, both pedestrian through, and car along side. The final video will break Hornbake Plaza down into smaller sub-spaces, looking at how different occupants and activities within the plaza as a whole creates these divisions, and how each individual sub-space can be defined by its activities
