(Re)representing Representations: Week 3

In this weeks workshop, the tutors decided to have less of a focus on discussion and more of a focus on production. They went around to each pair individually to assess how they were going with the weeks task of translating last weeks 2D propositions into 3D.

Christina and I focused on creating a diorama like model of the space that was hinged off itself so that the user could manipulate the dimensions of the site. Amongst this were two smaller models, one of the water feature and one of the nearby tree. At this point, our idea developed beyond reflections and depth and focused on holes instead, as even in reflections, you can see holes. For example, the sky being framed by the trees in the reflection would be considered a hole.

We were really happy with the two smaller models, as they were exploded to explore the varying holes in each.

The tutors responded well to our proposition, but were afraid that by creating such a literal model, we were losing the metaphorical side of our idea. They said the model was architectural in construction but it needed to be pushed further to explore our idea fully.

GRADE: C+
