SPATIAL COMPOSITION



1:2

Brief explaination: The frames of my spatial composition model are triangles and pentagons.

They were continiously overlayed and rotated around one centre point for the purpose of creating several different semi-round layers vertically.

The main techniques I adopted is overlay and rotation,which were absorbed in my final project as well.

The landform model used screen boards and foam boards two different materials, which aims to show different weight of extrution:one is solid, and the other is linear.

The different height of different parts was in accord with the golden ratio.

The compositional strategies of my assemblage model is disjunction(violent and contrast).In order to enhence the visual effect of contrast, I chose black and white--two dinstinctive color, which provided an inspiration for my final project.

SPATIO-TEMPORAL NARRATIVE

Key word: Debating Narrative: ''Hey, listen to me, just turn left.'' ''No, that will lead me to the start point again.'' ''Trust me, I have ďŹ nd the rhythm.'' ''If you do not want to go back to the start again and again just turn left.''

What's the meaning of debating right or left?

It just ladders with no ends.

Collage

The superium position collage was made by picking up interesting elements I found in the diagram(Left) which consists of three layers(Movement diagram, Collage and plan of assemblage model).The diamond abstracted from the diagram was used as the main form of my ďŹ nal project, because it points to two inversed directions,which is similar with two different opinions in debating.

The experience collage explored experience through concrete with contrast color. Light and easy atomosphere was created by white concrete, and dark and stressful atomosphere was created by black concrete.

FINAL PROJECT

Brief explaination: The concept of my final project is creating a space where people can get different experience or perception when they stand at different point or enter the space from different points.

The techniques adopted in my final project were extending and retrying of previous techniques: rotation and overlay, subtraction and extrution.The contrast color I adopted in my ďŹ nal project was inspired by my asseblage model which used black and white to show a quite diversed visual effect. When people enter he space from two inversed points they will see a total white or total black space, and perceive two wholly opposite experience. This is depended on which side they choose to enter the space.

PARTIAL SECTION N

Brief explaination: This experience section was drawn to show two kind of -inversed experience created by white and black concrete.

When people walk into the space which is surrounded by white concrete panels, they can feel more relaxed and less stressful.

However when people walk into the inversed space where the surrounding is made by black concrete, they may feel more stressful.

Summary Designing emphasises the process from site analysis, designing of form and function, and final refinement of all elements by turing concept into reality.

Each step of designing is interrelated.Completing each process can encourage us to reconsider how the individual part serves for the final project. During the designing process, there are lots of challenges and confusion, and I was easily restricted by my own horizon,which leads to a not satisfatory outcomes.

This project is ending, but new journey just begins. Expect my progress and creative work in the short future.
