DEVELOPMENT AND SITE

The site is located in front of Anatomy Building where has pipeline space between building and street. The reason why I chose this site is most of surface of buildings in UCL are quite similar which is difficult to recognise and remember. Therefore, the model of the purpose are to change the surface of building to make it easy to recognise and be more interesting. The other reason is this building has a little different from other buildings because  it has pipeline space where can be a site to model occupying as a base. The pipeline extends along with building surface; therefore, model can occupy and change the surface along with pipeline space. The first step is to study the site and try to give some simple responses. I chose three semi-sites where have some specific relations with its surroundings so I can use these relations to respond simply. I changed the angle and scale of model in three semi[sites to develop and extend depend on what the purposes are in the sites.

Site 1  

Some students park their bikes here always. Therefore I try to extend the model from pipeline space to streetlight to build a shed to cover a part of street.

Site 2 

There has a door in the basement. Thus I build a emergent stair to connect basement and ground floor.

Site 3

The tree is just between two windows. Therefore I build a bridge between building and tree which directly connect the relation between building and tree, between people and tree.

Finally, I chose the third site to develop deeply. This surface of building change and be different when shadow of tree project on the wall in the morning. Thus, I stood between tree and building and used model to record the changes of shadow at 12:30, 13:00 and 13:30 when the shadow projects on the wall of first floor. The reason why I chose this period is during this period, the shadow just project  between the wall of ground and second floor. There is no necessary to record the shadow on the wall of ground floor because people can see that and feel the different. The shadow projects on the wall of second floor is too high to see and feel. Therefore, the first floor can be the much choice to record and reproduce. I pull down the shadow on the first floor because of visible range and hight. These three different times have their central point at the bottom of shadow I can follow. After I pull down the shadows to ground floor surface, I chose some clear branches as the point to connect back to model and tree. The role of model here is to record the change of shadow and respond them via connection between wall and tree. Thus, the model also plays a role as a connecter here.

OCCUPATION

I chose these three sites to observe how the models can exist along without damage surfaces of sites. Three different situations show how the models develop their structures to match and hang on themselves with new structures.

There have two conditions which should be satisfied for choosing site.

1. The model can hang on without reach the ground.

2. The site is not really used such as between space

Saint Jerome in a Rocky Landscape

Joachin Patinir  1515-24        Oil on oak   36.2 x 34.3 cm.

 Saint Jerome is shown as a hermit in the foreground. In the background is the final scene in the story of the saint's lion told in the 'Golden Legend'. The lion has been charged with guarding the monastery ass: the ass was stolen by some merchants while the lion was asleep, but was later recognised by the lion and the merchants responsible for the theft came to beg forgiveness from the abbot. (National Gallery)

 

I chose this painting because its perspective and the relation of scale attract me and make me thought about surrealism. I combined the model that I have done two days ago. The idea is quite simple. I define the model as a cell which can divide and change itself to match different environment. Therefore I put them in different place with few different perspectives and scales. I haven’t give to clear function for every model, probable it’s not necessary yet. One of the models near the hermit may be an object across between rock and ground. One of the models in the left hides under the rock just like an insect. The other one in the top of middle was set between rock and ground which could be a huge machine exists in environment. The other two at the right top could be the huge constructions lie on the seaside. Also, at the left side, the model could be a spaceship park next to the castle.

ANALYSIS-1

REOGRANISATION AND CREATION

Before using this toy, the image of autogiro should be broken because its image is too strong and clear.

Divide this metal into several sections depend on its order of folding into autogiro

MODEL 1

Keep the same shape of foldingin in the same groups but reorganise them

MODEL 2

Keep each piece of metal in the same group from marking but change their shape of folding and reorganise groups

MODEL 3

Demolish every group and every piece of metal and reorganise them

In this step I change the structure from inside to outside. In the previous structure, big pieces of metal surround outside as main structure of autogiro. Therefore, I use these big pieces of metal as structure as well and put them in the inside to build which can totally change the shape and image of autogiro and make it go far away from original one.

MODEL 4

Use third model as base and combine a part of system from first and second models. The characteristics of first and second modes is they use foloding surrounding outside as main structure to build model. the third midel of characteristic is build structure from inside. Thus, combin both characteristics can keep the original structure and also have new structure which mix together making model more complicated, interesting and going far away from autogiro.
