➢ EARLY TRIAL OF EXPERIENCE ON TRAIN

INVISIBLE CITY_ORNAMENT

What is the architecture decorating Melbourne? Was it the Flinders Street station or the State Library? Was it the National Museum or the National Gallery? Travel to Melbourne. There are places that you do not want to miss as a traveler. While facades of buildings became an ornament to decorate the city, what history of those buildings become? When a building gets old, what makes us decide to knock it down or protect it as a heritage? What is heritage?

The train car task is about redesigning the interior train car. My focus is on considering the relationship between the seating arrangement, the window view, and the wall decoration in the task. Therefore, want to create a different atmosphere by changing those elements to the train. However, reflecting on the feedback given in the final, I realize ornament has become the significant component dominant within my entire thought process. What was the role of ornament within architecture? How does ornament respond to the space and form would then create a practical impact?

Furthermore, how to define the impact is practical or not? Those are the questions that I should have an answer to. The method to find an answer for those questions may through 1. Analysing more historical work and finding out how ornament displays themselves in different historical architectural studies, learn from the past. 2. More experiment on ornament application We are aiming to find out the meaning and more affectable new way to apply ornament to architecture.
