Room-ness
Human Scale Installation
Fall 2016 Course: 4.023 Wtih Stephan Hermandez and Kevin Marblestone Instructors: William O’Brien Jr. Duration: 4 Weeks Contribution Of Applicant: All Parts Conceptual Research, Design, Model-making, Drawings, Renderings A room can be defined as “a space that can be occupied; especially viewed in terms of whether there is enough.” The project asked to consider the architectural means by which one may constitute interiority in order to establish a relationship with exteriority while monitoring the implications of the design on the transformed identiy of the body. Inspired by the way James Turrell manipulates one’s perception of space, we designed a human scale object that deprives one’s sense of depth. The sensation of depth-less-ness, achieved through the materiality of the fabric and the meticulously crafted frames, enables the object to intrigue one’s imagination. It is through the immobilization of one’s movement and engagement of one’s imagination that the room-ness is achieved.
