ARCHITECTURE 101 PART I: FROM NOTHINGNESS TO PLACE To transform a place into a state of mind.
Dorothea Kunzendorf @dorokunzendorf
What did I learn?
1. MY PERSONAL JOURNEY
TAKING PICTURES
Focussing
The ringing in my ears
No Thing
to educate my eye to expand my field of vision to see „nothing“ to convert „nothing“ into „something“
Diving into nothingness feeling nothing thinking nothing…..
„The nothing nothings….…“
LEARNING TO SKETCH
Feeling my hand waving
Architecture in one line
The idea of an oak leaf
to see negative space to paint what I see, not what I know to sketch with „Adobe Ideas“ to draw fine lines with my fingertips
The point is to put your rational part of the brain asleep.
Right Hemisphere working: Mr.S. upside down
MAKING COLLAGES
There is a synthesis of thought and emotions
In my place, head in the sky….thanks to Paul K.
to work with „Bazaart" and „Photoshop Express“ to use abstraction to express my thoughts and feelings to „steel“ things in the art world
The true delight is in the finding out rather than in the knowing
„Physiognomic crystallization“ … stealing from Paul K.
OBSERVING THE WEATHER
Transitions: The sky, tree tops and snow flurry
Some people walk in the rain, others go into hiding
to work with „Kaleidoscope“, „Kaleidomatic“, „Color Lake“, „Hyper lapse“and „Thicket“ to mix up the results of the different Apps to generate different weather conditions
Because the sun is new each day
Dazzled…staring at the flickering shafts of sunlight
Following the light trail, he suddenly came across the moon
SHAPING DIAGRAMS
to simplify to structure my thoughts to love „thenounproject“ to reflect and to ponder
There often is a conflict between my brain and my body
The different structures of my brain
Ones destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things
A place is like a state of mind - My „retreat“
2. MY JOURNEY WITH MY CLASSMATES
To show but a few of my favorite images……
What did I learn from my classmates
courage creativity curiosity enthusiasm humour interaction knowledge motivation new perspectives positive review reflection rethinking self confidence significance simplicity socializing spontaneity to stay tuned to observe
3. MAPPING MY PLACE
A place of personal retreat, together with a door, always open for visitors
Easy to locate with a certain amount of empathy
Surroundings, providing the feeling of security
A place, that enables a broad perspective
Big, big thanks to my tour guides Stefano, Anne Sophie, Petro and all the fellow travelers for this fascinating journey!
