As in project 3, my exploration here was in the area of authenticity. I took that a step further by also exploring spacial authenticity. Similar to the way that the structure is implied on the outside and revealed on the inside, the interior spaces are outwardly implied and revealed as experienced. The unveiling of the structure is slowed down compared to project 3. Inside, as one passes through each consecutively larger room, they should notice that the interior panels are more open, compared to the last, and that more of the structure is revealed.
South Elevation - Notice that the grid travels across the 3 shells. This ties the separate parts together. The gradient of interior spaces is evident from the outside.
From South West - The gradient of panels on the outside is varied and expresses interior flow patterns.
From South East
Courtyard from entrance with office enclosure on the right. Notice the difference in interior panels.
Interior of Machine Hall with fully opened interior panels.
This is still a work in progress and I hope to update the blog with better images when I find a computer that can actually render this geometry. Any advice on rendering would be helpful.
I chose to relate project five back to our material research in project one. Still have some work to do on it, but what I have so far is the development of a script, producing geometry representative of the spackle extrusions. Molds for the base could be easily produced using a CNC mill, then individual units could be created using vacuum formed plastic or slumped glass. Units would be translucent to accentuate the overlap of layers in each piece and let light in.
