Museum of The Moving Image

Callahan Weeks Arch 310 Fall 2022

This museum aims to accomplish certain principles from the film analysis of Solaris Directed by Andrei Tarkovsky. This film uses time as a rhythm not determined by sequence but rather by the pressure of time passing through it. Tarkovsky does this by sculpting the time of scenes with strategic shots, angles, and pans. Also using cuts to go from picture to picture reducing the time viewers have to take in the moment. Solaris works the most with actions, scene atmosphere, and camera style in contrast to heavy dialog. This museum will use architecture to frame the view in order to take in moments, sculpt the time perception of users’ interaction with this space, and create an atmosphere that tells a story. Tarkovsky used time to tell his stories. This promenade will use passages that alter one’s pace when moving to and from in the course of a connected program; by the effect of encircling heterogeneous partitions and light intensity. At moments of low interest, the wood partitions are spaced together in sequence. They also rotate and have a different scale of opening to create an atmosphere of chaos for the user. The wood partitions are spaced further apart in sequence at moments of high interest. While also staying square and having larger openings for users, creating a welcoming atmosphere. Lastly when the partitions are spaced apart further the light has greater brightness and the contrary for closely spaced together partitions. By doing this the promenade will accomplish a sense of atmosphere that will invoke a physical and emotional sense of space.

Zoning

This site is under the B-4 zoning district. In this zone the code calls for a 0’’ setback from the sidewalk and a height restriction of 57’. In this zone it allots for an array of different programs. Some of those include retail, housing, commercial buildings, transportation, and Housing. This site allows for the projects intention that is a museum with the intent to host weddings, film festivals, and to showcase works of art from around the world.

The Blue lines represent the path that a student might take from student housing. The dots represent a variety of student housing types. Some of the following like Greek houses, dorms, and apartments.

The green lines represent the path that a user of the museum would have to take when finding parking in downtown Lincoln. All the parking locations are pay to park. The sites include parking garages, parking lots, and university lots.

The tan line represents the restaurants and bars that are in close proximity to the museum. As museum guests and employees may need to utilize these food services. The services incline coffee, fine dining, fast food, and sports bars.

Yearly Heat Map

During the environmental analysis, I learned many things. First of that from the analysis of the summer, winter, spring, and fall equinox. While having a general understanding that the sun changes paths during the year, I was unaware of the level of difference between the seasons. Learning this aids in the designing process of my museum. Specifically the orientation of the passages that I have designed. The passages encompass the factors of each season’s equinox. With that being said the passages are rotated in an orientation that ultimately allows the sun to travel through the partitions throughout the whole year. Providing a different experience for users in the changing seasons. Also, something from the environmental analysis that aided in the design process was the diurnal averages. Diurnal averages display monthly averages of temperature and radiation across the 24 hours of the day. It shows what a “typical day” looks like in a particular month. This was important to understand for the design of my project. At moments of the year in our location, we get little sun during the day. This means that I was important of design something that can artificially provide light in the passages. Each passage has a light bar between each partition. That way during the winter months and at night, the effect of the partitions will still work for users.

The program specifications sheet maps out the minimum requirement for design square footage of the buildings program. For example the theater and lecture space has the minimum of 3000 square feet. When designing the museum the program specifications sheets provides a list of the required rooms that have to fit inside the museum one way or another. It also shows a brief description of what each room entails. There is only one thing that I changed in the specifications sheet.

PROGRAM RELATIONSHIP DIAGRAMS

The program flows and routine analysis is a diagram that represents the connections and relative relation between the array of program for the museum. Every circle is scaled based on importance and scale of the room. For example the theater and lecture space is a much larger circle than the service tech room. Mostly sized different based on square-footage. The blue line is the flow of an employee through the museum. An average employee would travel through the museum going to and from spaces like the office, archive vault, and mechanical and electrical rooms. The red line is the path the art work would travel when entering and exiting the museum. Starting at the prep office the art would travel through collections research, exhibition space, and the storage room. Lastly is the path that the public might taken when touring the museum. The public would go through the Volunteers room, lobby, theater and lecture space, and lobby when visiting the museum. The Dashed lines represent desirable adjacencies and the solid line represents critical adjacencies. The blue color represents staff spaces and the tan color represents public spaces.

CONCEPTUAL STATEMENT

Goals Tactics

1. Create an atmosphere that relates to Andre Tarvkoskys film technique

2. Create an experience with different atmospheric experience each time a user visits the museum.

3. Use program and film analysis to design the building.

4. Allow natural light to be apart of the buildings lighting system.

1. Use light, one point perspective and sense of time pressure to create an atmosphere.

2. Take the environmental analysis and use it to the advantage of the building. With varying light intensities.

3. Include all required program that while still relating to film techniques by Tarkovsky.

4. Use large windows for the connecting portions of the building.

Skeptical Withdrawn Sorrowful Forlorn Worried Helpless/ Threatened Hurt 2 second Interval

In this still the character is shown walking through a feild of vibrant plants as he walks into the fog. This birds-eye view displays prospective of the character that is not shown throughout the film again. The plants and flowers display euphoric moment for the character before problems arise. The fog is a representation of the looming future that comes as the film progresses.

The atmospheric features in the extreame-long shot displays multiple differnt components that create the mood. Saturation of the home and vegitation is vibrant and perfectly semetrical to frame the home in a whimsical manner. The home reflecting on the water with fog grazing over it creates a sense of wonder of what could symbolize an event in the future or past.

This image of cars traveling on a highway is the peak of a build up from low chaos to high chaos. The extrame-long shot of city shows cars traveling in all different directions. layered on top of eachother displays forshadowing for the layers the the character will unpack in his adventure. Lastly, low saturation of the still could represents cold and artifical feeling.

This long shot camera framing shows a women in a pink dress surrounded by water and brightly colored vegitation. The high saturation is a reprsentation of serenity and sign of the time. A moment in the charachters life that could have been ultimate bliss. The women is standing in an area with no sign of a place to go. Almost as if the character is lost in beautiful place defining the atmosphere

The extream long shot is an image of a planned full of energy called solaris. The framing creates a spacial feature that is difficult to grasp. Understanding of the image something that is up to the indivudual imagination. The vibrant colors make one think that the atmosphere represents something that is positive. A key feature of this creates a solid line between two contraing colors and texture.

Phase 2 began by watching a film and making an analysis of it. To analyze a film one was to visualize the organization’s principles/logistics that define the style and form of the film. Essentially to find the generative code of the film. That being the camera shot types of transitions, shot composition, and methods of montage. All of these aspects collectively make the generative code of a film. Tarkovsky has a very distinct generative code. He believes in the concept of time pressure. In a summarized statement time pressure is the distinctive time running through the shots that makes the rhythm of the picture, and the rhythm is determined not by the length of the edited pieces but by the pressure of time that runs through it. This definition of time pressure defines how Tarkovsky directs his films. He Uses camera angles, along with long lengths of time for most frames. Not to forget filtered lenses, one-point perspective, and more. It is my intention to craft a museum that follows the film style of Tarkovsky to design architecture that can create the same feelings for the user of the museum and a viewer of his film.

Lightly Stained Wood

Materials used in this building relate to the design intent and aesthetic of the building. Polished black concrete is the material used in the passage ways of the building. This is to reflect it surrounding context in order to create and encircling 3d Experience. In The general program areas finished concrete is used with a light gray tint and spots of white streams. Finished concrete is used to avoid foot traffic noise from floor to floor and have a consistent material base across the projects floor planes. The walls are made out of mostly painted drywall. In order to create a comfortable experience in the theater lecture space. The floors are carpeted with staggered diamond design. Lastly, the partitions that make up the passages are made out of lightly stained wood. This is used to create an aesthetic look from the interior to exterior while also having the common material for the structure.

Normal Exposure

Over Exposure

The Building Ra n through a daylight summary analysis in climate studio. The results had the average UDla of 33.1%. This result reveals that the administration portion of the building is over exposed to the sunlight

Normal Exposure

Overhang

The second pass of the building had a roof overhand shading the sunlight from exposing the interior. The results of the daylight summary was a average UDla of 57.1. In future design of the project an overhang would be implemented to reduce exposure.
