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.
