Montage Germination Space

SoA Archive Project; 2019 Spring; Architectural Design Studio 2; First Year; Instructor: Ryosuke Imaeda; Individual Work;

Inspired by Jiro Ono's hand movements of making sushi and the rolling rehabilitation balls. The two specific motions all reveal the different kinds of germination, one from the outside in, the other from the inside out. By inspecting the two versions of germination, I defined the space that is growing in spiral, creating a series of montage space that have different heights, where no door is being placed as parititon but the different levels. The imaginary owner of the space is a couple, they repect each other's personal spaces while living as a whole. Embraing the defects and loving as always.

Active Rotation

The motion of making a sushi.

David Gelb, 2011, "Jiro Dreams of Sushi", Magnolia Pictures.

Montage Collage

The hand and sushi merge together as small bubbles, with the overal shape of large oval shapes. Passive Rotation serve as the montage of the motion of each small bubbles, projecting the montage motion on the background from inside out.

Passive Rotation

The motion of being inside a rotating rehabilitation ball.

Giuseppe Tornatore, 2013, "Best Offer",

The montage collage turns into a 3D geometric projection drawing, different compartments represent different heights and possible functions. The montage drawing works as a emotional figure, which compose the future montage shape generation in the brain.

Montage Composition

This series of diagram shows the geometric transformation step by step.

Montage Material Selections

Model Production site: foam core milling, white paint, sand, spray glue.

The contrast of the soft motion of making sushi and being rotated inside a metal rehabilitation ball drives the materialization of the model. In light of the montage materials, transparency and translucency are achieved by ink injected melted soap and light color staking model of the large bubbles, which could turn into apertures and curved walls. The dark color and rocky textures cuddle the bubbles in an upward swirl motion, distinctive but inclusive. model: 1/32'' cardboard, 1/16'' cardoboard, 1/16'' wax sheet, 3D printing white PLA; soap base, silicone mould; paints;
