Material Studies
20 April 2009
The project will read differently depending on whether you view it from above the hollow or within the hollow. I’m investigating the effects of different materials, so that the building will at times appear light and reflective, and at others will be dark and mute. The fractured formal language, however, will generate a flicker between the two perceptions of light and heavy.
The following are some photographic studies of reflective, transparent, and matte materials.
These materials are then arranged three dimensionally. The resulting cube seems to be both pushing into space and pulling out of it, obscuring the true limit of the architecture.
