Assignment 3 - Developments

Photographic Distortion of Perspectives

I developed a new concept that followed the premise that as a photography uses lighting, camera abilities and special angles to DISTORT the way a picture is taken in order to communicate a particular perspective to us, the gallery would DISTORT the space in which the photography is being displayed.

This required some very flexible architecture, as the idea needed to be clearly communicated otherwise the it would simply be misconstrued as a mistake in the architecture.

I decided on a gridding system for the rooms to be used that was off axis to the regular grid the building followed. To support this, angled glass windows in the facade were implemented.

















A revit render of the rooftop side shows the facade on the other side of the apartment section.













This idea was abandoned as it wasn't being communicated strongly enough leaving many questions and holes in the concept. The viewer would not pick up the concept as easy it it might've been expected.
