[Dmitri & Mo] Monument to Human Vice

Voices is a brand new monument dedicated to confessing your vices. People aren’t perfect, everyone makes mistakes. While it is important to understand that vices shouldn’t be celebrated, but controlled, it is also evident that humans have a penchant for committing sins. However, these are burdens you no longer need to carry around.

So Confess...

A Modern Transition

The Modern Transition exhibition is a total sensory experience for the viewer. Our emphasis has been placed on Le Corbusier's journey as equally important to his arrival to each of the Five Points of Architecture. As the viewer takes the journey from room to room, he or she will experience a taste of sights and sounds of Le Corbusier’s expedition. The marriage of the literal with the poetic is key within our theme. We long to pursuade the viewer of the importance of the Five points through a thorough steeping into the driving passions of Le Corbusier. Corbusier’s primary influences will be married to his point of view. The music and visuals will mesmerize to dislocate the viewer from the current moment and slice open a portal into Corbusier’s world.

Notes from Spatial Experience

All_the_parts_001


Today was a trying day, however I took some notes that will hopefully move us along more efficiently. Love you Tammy, enjoy these notes!

Make it a persuasive experience.

“neatness counts”.

Did he consider himself Swiss or French?

Bauhaus image looks like “oh Corbu went here”, and needs to be more about Walter Gropius. Either icon or index.

The wall isn’t that tall...sad :( (Bauhaus image).

Need to verbally communicate a motion piece behind the ribbon window.

Corbu quotes - one typeface while his Influences are another.

I compose with light seems to be in the wrong place.

Show presentation in sequence, and get rid of numbers on the key (plan view of the H&R Blockspace). They are confusing.

Denote zones in the key as well as the walls.

Show the concept drawn on the key in the beginning of the presentation, could even be our initial drawing.

Could do a flip video through the model space, to show what it would be like to actually walk through the space.

I compose with light with the pilotes (supports) image?

Need to fit in Roof Garden now.

Its bad to have two serifs, maybe need to think of a sans-serif.

Integration of technology, what is this convincing me of?

Make clear that each point connects to an individual of influence in our presentation both visually and verbally.

Play music in the presentation to give a “sensory experience”.

Fonts - reductive, minimal, abstracted.

Do we need an iconic image of Corbu?

Present your concept as it were the audience that was walking through the exhibit, what is the narrative. What is the sequence, and how can we give them as realistic experience as possible w/o being in the exhibit itself?

Use the model as a development tool!

Initial Concepts: 5 Points of Architecture

Tammy and I came up with a couple of concepts for our exhibit. Concept #1 is based on the idea of the 5 points of architecture relating to the 5 senses. We want the experience to be tactile, tangible, and highly sensory. We were thinking of having actual grass, the actual furniture, walls, etc. This is the layout of the first concept.





Our second concept is using the Savoye House to explain the 5 points of architecture. We want to include a time line of La Corbusier's lifetime as well. The viewers will come upon his life story including personal stories as well as business. They will then be greeted by the Savoye House plan veiw below their feet amongst large infographs on the walls.
