a way to see the world

The project, which has been presented to us by Professor Luis E. Carranza Phd., Roger Williams University, is an architectural investigation. This is an investigation into making people, rather, us think of our surroundings. An architecture which wakes us from our blase attitude to force us to realise we have been asleep. Only on the rare occasion do we recall how it is we came to be in the very room we now sit. This is an attempt to wake a campus from such a slumber.

This investigation begins with art in the form of a Juan Gris painting.

In the beginning...

So the first ideas were to build a tower. a capsule of sorts that would house all the program with circulation winding through it. this has found its way to a new version. This version is that the courtyard I have chosen for my site is the capsule, and all the program fits within it. That gave way to the three theaters "floating" in space with all the support for them sub-terrainian. As Parent pointed out, the ground plain is the datum with "life" above it and "life support" under it.

Objects within the courtyard



Here's where I am now. three theaters seemingly placed in an arbitrary manner but all connected underground. Also, too, these shapes would be rounder more like an egg, great for a theater inside but I was thinking of the way they would touch people. It seems I have fallen into a few of my own definitions of tangible and intangible.
