INSTRUCTOR: MILAGROS ZINGONI YEAR COMPLETED: FALL 2016 PROJECT NAME: THE DUCT AND CHALLENGING THE STATUS QUO
These collages are two projects which focus on ‘what if’s?’ and challenging the stigma of tradition in water and education. “The DUCT” is emphasized on what a dream about water would be like in the great state of Arizona, celebrating water in this dry climate. Water illustrates two sides of the psychological mind, the unconscious and conscious. By looking at their own reflection, the mind can reveal their alter ego.
“Challenging The Status Quo” puts emphasize on challenging the status quo of the building and the program, the idea of thinking outside of the box. Through examination of the building and library, the concept of breaking open the box leads to creation of a new program, the creation of the library of the 21st century. Focusing on technology, a book bot was designed that stores books and creates a new way of interacting with a library. This collage acts as propaganda to challenge the status quo of the library, making it more fashionable and providing a more provocative experience.
