GODZILLA DRAWING

A. HIGH LINE SHELL

With the shadow projected on to the ground, a figureal platform is created by shoveling in between the four mats and hovering over the existing building. The figure contains the quality of the cut figure and the leaning/ supporting formal relationship among the mats. It serves as the new ground that also contains life inside and it also provides communal access to all the mats.

B. EXTERIOR SHELL

The idea of the exterior shell comes from the idea of a diorama, where a sun sets in the cavity formed by the right two mats to create an effect of the cut figure fading and under belly glowing.
