RECONSTRUCTION OF MULHOLLAND NIGHTMARE

Instructors:Manrong Liang

The film Mulholland Drive tells the story of Diane, an actress who pursued her dream in Hollywood, hired a murderer to kill because of emotional disputes and committed suicide because of guilt and pain after a long dream.

In the film, director David Lynch depicts a real dream with non-linear film techniques based on psychologist Freud's dream interpretation theory. In the following, the narrative line of the film will be re structured, and the plot of the film will be divided into six chapters, which will be translated through architectural methods to create a dream experience hall, so that visitors can feel Diane's emotional changes during the tour.

Hall Of Dream Experience

Plot Analysis

The main part of the film is divided into two parts, which are the dream and actual experience of Diane, the heroine. The main plot of the story mainly revolves around Diane, Camilla and Adam (as Betty, Rita and Adam respectively in the dream), in which scenes of other secondary characters are interspersed to highlight the emotional conflict of the three main people.

Relationship Analysis

The humiliation of Rita and Adam made Diane buy murders in anger. After receiving the news of Camilla's death, she regretted and was afraid. She fell asleep in a daze. In her dream, Diane's subconscious beautifies her image, belittles Rita and Adam, which she hates, and covers up the truth of her murder. In her dream, she escapes from reality, and everything is moving towards her ideal direction.

DIANE'S SUBCONCIOUS

Director David Lynch built a dream based on psychologist Freud's dream interpretation theory.

According to Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams dreams are the fulfillment of wishes.And based on this, Diane's dream will be reconstructed by means of architecture. The narrative subject in the film is Diane's experience from reality to dream and then to reality. Visitors will experience the same emotional changes from the translated architecture.

PROTOTYPE

TRANSLATE

In the film, a blue box contains the truth of Camilla's death, which is the main clue throughout the film. This concept will be referred to in the design, and the 12 m * 12 m * 12 m cube will be used as the basic shape to create different types of spaces.

Parlous Tunnel Reassuring Courtyard Conspicuous Stage Circuitous Territory Liminal Dilemma Repentant Land

The stairs that go up and down constantly, circuitous corridors, and the walls that block the steps make the path long and distant, as if at the end of the road, the truth was deliberately hidden.

This space is composed of reduced and highlighted blocks, as well as intricate staircases in different directions. Visitors seem to be at the boundary of reality and emptiness. Awakening is coming.

Between the messy walls, a wading road is the only way to the exit. After a short escape, accepting the reality and facing the truth is the only method that works.

"Don't say am deceiving myself. Nobody is deceiving himself. If the soul can be true, why can't the dream be true. Dream and reality, night and day, what is true or false? They are the poles of time. In this pole, pushed you into hell. In the other pole, let's stay together forever."

Insomnia In Megacity

Toshima City Minato City

Sleep Maze

Instructors: Xiaoyang Fang

Individual Work Location: Tokyo, JAPAN Fall 2021

In order to solve the problem of insomnia caused by excessive pressure in large cities, we try to explore a way other than drugs, alcohol and other common means, that is, focus on the place where insomnia occurs, take the design of the residence as a way to improve sleep, and try to improve people's sleep through rich spatial experience. The design provides different paths to visit, different sleeping places and different space atmosphere, creating an interesting residence

Concept Section

Tokyo is the most populous city in the world. The fast-paced life in the central area, taking the Minato City as an example, makes office workers suffer from insomnia. In Tokyo, where every inch of land is precious, Toshima City is a relatively reasonable place for real estate prices. It has a large area of residential areas and a relatively slow pace of life. It is a livable place. Here, people can temporarily relieve the pressure and sleep in peace.

People today tend to use different methods to deal with insomnia.As the carrier of sleep and the place where insomnia occurs, a house will be designed to provide people who have insomnia problems with ways to improve their sleep from three different angles:

1. Diversity of tour routes;

2. Diversity of sleeping places;

3. Diversity of room atmosphere.

Light Determines Space

The square box room needs to be reconstructed. The shaping of different spatial shapes can bring different spatial feelings to the sleepers, thus affecting insomnia. The space forms of different floors correspond to different sleeping positions, which form the shape of the building from the outside and create a unique sense of space inside.

THIRD STOREY Sleep Twistedly Sleep

SECOND STOREY

Different Space Experience

FIRST STOREY

Casually Sleep

Solomnly

Spatial variation of bottom channel brings people a feeling of treasure exploiting.

The tunnel connects the three floors with different characters vertically, and also acts as a special sleep space.The gradual light also reflects the form logic of the house.

DRAMA PLAY

Compared with staring at the blank ceiling, looking up at the bright starry sky and contacting nature is undoubtedly a better way to realx the tense nerves and make people fall asleep.

摘星阁

Sleeping needs a good atmosphere. Nothing compares to a dim light,a glass of charming red wine and a beautiful melody at this moment arranged around a core space and the design of "one room with multiple doors" is used, which increases the intercommunity between spaces, offers more possibilities for user's tour routes, and forms a small maze.Outdoor stairs and indoor vertical passages beside the bedroom also provide users with more choices to go upstairs or downstairs. 酌瑟间 随憩厅 天元阁

Oh, another sleepless night......I want to change this situation.I don't want to toss and turn restlessly in this bed anymore. There are three doors,which one should I choose to go out for a walk?

After wandering for a while,I have begun to feel sleepy,but it’s too far to go back to my bedroom...Eh?It seems like a good place to take a nap.

There are tatamis where you can sleep on everywhere, as well as round and soft space.This is the best bed.
