More projects from my first year in architecture school...
Challenge: Design a spatial experience that uses the following sequential stages of experience: introductory, foreshadowing, preparatory, climax, anti-climax, and vicarious.
Concept: Create an experience through a series of events that conveys a message. Feel and visualize firsthand the signs of a heart attack.
Resolution: As each room is entered, a new heart attack sign is evoked. Each room gets higher up until the climax, where the recovery is winding down a staircase. The signs are shortness of breath, nausea, dizziness, heart attack and recovery.
Challenge: Design an environment conducive for a tea ceremony as outlined in Kakuzo Okakura’s The Book of Tea, and will comply with the requirements of Chapter IV “The Tea Room,” and will incorporate the aesthetic ideas expressed throughout the book. No Japanese looking designs.
Concept: Create a tea house that shows who I am as a person, but still shows some of the aspects of laying low.
Resolution: Soul searching proved to show me as a very personal person that likes to be alone. Waiting area is a blanket being pulled over me. The stairs show going underground to loneliness. And the tea house suggests a mother’s womb meaning a sense of being hidden.
