For my final presentation of this project I felt there wasn’t many options for the displaying of my different pieces as they are so large. I brainstormed a few different layouts but decided the first one made the most logical sense.

When I got to the studio I found that my drawings took up even more space than expected so I altered my layout accordingly. I overlapped my drawing to show the flow and development of my ideas as I moved through the design process. The section drawing is to the left hand side of the other plan drawings, leading your eye across to the model on the podium.

The tracks on both the window and the mirrors create a relationship between the room and the inhabitants for when they come together they can transform the space.

Similar to our dreams where our surroundings are reflected in a new way in our subconscious, you can create your own version of reality through the moving and positioning of the mirrors within the room.

Opening and closing of the window affects how much outside noise is allowed into the room. When fully closed you get peace and quiet.

Abstract:

My design of a new threshold moment in to the gallery space is through the journey up a staircase and the pushing of the window. The concaved nature of the entrance draws you in and as you look in you see the city reflected out to you. You don’t expect to see the city when looking into a room but similar to your dreams not everything makes sense. The reflection create a new world within the gallery for people to interact with inside the space as well as when they pass by the window. A city within a room.I have explored the relationships of open/closed, loud/muted, movement/stasis and light/dark and incorporated these relationships into my threshold design.
