The site gives off a magical sensation, where a person feels and renovates with peaceful green areas of the Brooklying park (Pier 1) , also gives the sensation of refreshing feeling, caused by the the scenery of the water front of the East river. A place where someone can go to read a book and let their imagination flow , as the river of creativity. The main characteristics of this site is the spectacular view of Manhattan. The vibration of movement and activities in it's shops, bars, recreation act..
Edge
My understanding of the word "edge" is how something is at the end but is the beginning of a new element. In my collage the word edge , is expressed with the edge of the buildings , and with the limits of the sky with stars. I divided the image in half with a horizontal line, making an edge between the water and the soils. The 2 main colors are black and white, showing the Yin-Yang. Which is mostly known as the good and bad division.
Design
The main idea of this collage is to represent the feelings and the conceptual activities that would take place in my building. The building is based into a Artistic center , that would offer the knowledge of photography, painting, architecture, advertising and any others activities involving creativity. The camera lens project a painting of a woman that is expressing the freedom of the creativity. Another idea behind this building , is to create a place where the artist can connect with nature.
These are great collages and descriptions. I want to see your models...... please post and bring to class on Monday.
ReplyDeleteHito, you did a good job explaining your collages. I would like to see how you will develop them into 3d representations.
ReplyDeleteThese are better than the draft versions. With some description, the first one does read. You nailed the edge collage this time through. I did not need the description at all. There is a depth and quality in the photos that speaks of space and place if you will.
ReplyDeleteFor all the success of the first 2 collages, you lost me again with the last one. It is a bit too literal to inform architectural exploration,
Hito,
ReplyDeleteGreat progress from your draft!
Your first collage is not quite clear for me. I feel that that you want to express the power of the surroundings yet you minimize the collage to a futuristic/fast environment view.
For instance, your description, "a person feels and renovates with peaceful green areas of the Brooklyn park (Pier 1), also gives the sensation of refreshing feeling" is not quite describe in the collage.
The Edge and Design collages describe your feeling (description) quite well through images.
Personally, I love the last collage. I feel that you want to provide a space with a new powerful vision of an art center.
Great job!
