Working Model Continuation






This is the continuation of my working models as I have now combined bits of both the cave and maze version. I again have used the idea of light increasing the experience of isolation and depression. The new model contains three rooms which have different light qualities, different ceiling heights and different floor planes. The first room you descend down into is more like a corridor and contains a very thin ceiling with circular cutouts that appear like spotlights that create that sense of this space being focused on the observer. It includes long drawn out stairs toward the opening into the next room to translate the fact that it is a slow focused space. The following room includes slits in the roof which brings that sense of openness and freedom into the space. It includes offset levels that encourage running down and then up as it is a quick space that allows you to open up to the idea of contemplation. The last room has angled focused lights of different sizes. This space incorporates only one raised platform which reflects the idea of allowing one to contemplate on two different levels; a normal level and again at a heightened level. This is the continuation of the working model.
