WEEK THREE

PROJECT 1 FOLIE DESIGN

Meet all together! discusses our ideas further... came up with the following...

We decided that instead of incorporating all the senses into our folie design that we would limit it to one (under the assumption that the other senses could be enhanced in other folies within the site...). As megan had researched more into the sense of sound we decided to move in this direction...

she came up with the idea of a swinging pendulum that would work off the winds coming off the river (invisible forces that we require our senses to experience...) which we integrated into the shape that I originally had... (the idea of the bunker, and the history behind it)

<<<< People would walk though and have the noise of the pendulum echo off the walls (creating a sort of sound shell or sound bunker)

 

Concept models of our design progress...

 "Concept", "Context", "Function", "Tectonic" and "Experience"

Concept: The concept behind this folie was to create a learning environment that enhances the sense of sound, thus allowing the user not only to learn to use their sense besides sight but also to increase their memory retention...

Context: The folie is to take the shape of the old bunkers within the sight to not only in the form but also the mimic the experience people had during the war within the bunker...

Tectonic: We decided to use the same tectonics as the bunker and other materials found on the site eg. cast iron and gravel..

Experience... (pretty much explained above...)
