THE DOME LIVING ROOM

The Dome

During the advancement of Kragujevac city, the selected location had many buildings but eventually they got demolished. We wanted to bring a symbol that reminds people of the history of our location - we chose a Dome, similar to one that was once on top of one building many years ago. The dome symbolizes the connection between people. The circular design works around a center and then everything goes around it. We wanted a design that symbolizes the gathering of the people and that’s how we got to the concept of a dome out of tires.

Red and a Tire

There is a rapid growth of waste tires from different types of vehicles - which is bad for our planet. Wasted tires end up in communal areas. People don’t know what to do with them so we came up with an idea to use tires for the project Urban Living Room and include pedestrians in building the dome.

The red color is the city color of Kragujevac. It symbolizes the industries in the city such as (Zastava Arms) and automobile (FCA Srbija) industries. These industries bloomed during Yugoslavia era.

Designing the performance

The design consists of three stages. Every stage has a different sit of time and different results.

The first stage (The mystery of scattered tires) make people wonder – WHY?

Why are the tires here?

Why are they red?

After observing people’s behavior, the next stage starts

The second stage (Hint of scattered tires)

Problem solving

A banner appears with all the instructions about the tires and what they can build with them in the site whcih says “Build something like this” and see what people can do; or we provide them

The third stage (The DOME)

A Symbol we have two options:

1-To give people instructions and let them build the dome.

2-To build the dome ourselves without them expecting it. In the first option, we will provide people with instructions and needed materials. The duration of this stage could be 1-2 days. In the second option, we will build the dome around the time when there are less locals around the location and cause a surprised reaction.

SHADE, SHADOW AND PERSPECTIVE

These are few of my archiectural art that shows strong skills such as understanding prespective, shades and shadows, reflection, scale, material, human expereince, optical illusion, colour usage, story telling, world building and graphical presentation techniques. The workflow consisted of 3 stages which are creating a concept for an existing image, manipulate it using perspective and shadow principles in autocad and then visualize it using photoshop.
