Project 2 - Sass
Project 2 - Weller
After reading "In a Station of a Metro" by Ezra Pound, I was inspired to create a space that reflected the shape of the wet bough. I wanted to use the reflecting character of a wet surface, and the vibrant colors of petals. After experimenting with 3d physical models for exercise 9, I created a tunnel composed by half circle layers that are joined by sitting benches on each side. The reflection created by the layers on the bench, makes it seem as if its a cylinder like I had created in my physical models.

My Concept was an idea of enclosure by different edge conditions. Also the space is a progession of different types of enclosure.

Project 2 - McNally
My inspiration for this project was the second poem, "Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island". In the poem the man records his observations, they are simple and sweet. At the end of the poem the narrator states, "I have wasted my life". At first I was confused by this ending. The whole poem describes nice and appealing imagery and then he ends with a negative quote. When I started to analyze the poem I realized he said this because all of the observations he was listing were ones that he was just noticing for the first time, his whole life he had never taken the time to seize the moment, stay in one place, and appreciate the simple things around him. To express this architecturally, I was immediately reminded of Frank Lloyd Wright. When touring a FLW building, you are rarely just experiencing a single space or experience at one moment. Instead you are constantly in several different places at one time, making it interesting but kind of hard to focus on "the simple things". So in formZ I created my own mock Frank Lloyd Wright model and began to explore views. I made the walls and floors semi-reflective surfaces because I wanted them to reflect the spaces around them, therefor supporting my concept. In the upper left hand corner I included the plan of the building and an axon diagram. I really wanted to include these images to show some diagramatic imagery but wish I did it in a more subtle way. The background image (with the spiraling stairs) is one of the more interesting views in the model that shows multiple spaces at one time. The ground level image is a perspective taken from the model showing the reflective walls.
