Workshop 1: Re-presenting Representations

For workshop 1 we visited a specific space on campus, and were required to come up with our own interpretation of it. My interperetation of the space was as a old,uninhabited and abandoned place, taken over by nature. Therefore my re-presentation (final product) involved created a book or progression of slides which present the concept of nature or organic form slowly dominating the built form.

The first 'slide' presents the building alone. Perspective drawings and layers of thick card were combined to create a model of the building and surrounding space. Gaps behind the model brought natural light into the space.












10 slides of computer generated images of nature printed on transparent paper are overlayed on the model, slowly reducing the visibility of the model. Small cavities between each slide create a three dimensional feel to the nature slides, while allowing light to filter through.
