General Board Layout

End Condition Near Door and Information
Here is a potential scheme for the board layout.  I think that the current categorizatioal scheme is good in the sense that allows a different way to view the work and it asks the viewer to make specific “qualitative” judgments.  I think this is good to help […]

Incorporating Rob’s projection script, the viewing alleys of the carving scheme are reinforced by the exhibit’s text. As one circulates through the space and the massive chipboard volume opens up, the text begins to align, signaling to the viewer that one is inside a curatorial space where one is presented with a deliberate selection […]

To integrate a perspective scheme with print media I worked backwards from a wall layout with 1/2 m x 1 m boards, aligned to 4′-6 above the floor.  Lines of sight intersect contour bands for the podium height (3′-6, 4′-0, 4′-6) and represent potential locations for a podium to be placed.  I returned to our initial concept (as laid out […]

This is my extension of the viewpoint scheme. I started out by condensing the grid, making it more sculptural, something a viewer would initially walk around instead of through. The space again breaks down to 3 view points as curated space and the area between them as uncurated space. The difference this […]

ok.  so ive been working on this viewpoint scheme for a while now.  its fairly cumbersome (less so thanks to robs script) and this scheme was initially going to be a test before i adjusted the podiums.  basically, we cut out the “shadows” of the podiums based on the point of view.  the different colors […]

I think carving is an interesting idea. There is a notorious carver (Silverstein’s pet monkey), who uses these methods mixed with a lot of ambiguity to get his way. The images above are from FARMAX. I think MVRDV is saying, ok if we are going to use that technique then we are going to be […]

This is a slightly new organizational concept which attempts to counteract the emptiness we saw in the latest layouts. By condensing the podiums into a tighter space, the viewing alleys become more clear and a much more palpable space is created. Instead of objects floating in space, the exhibit becomes selective carvings from […]

I’ve written a script in Rhino which will project any set of curves along the sight lines from a point onto any set of surfaces.
To run the script, make sure the curves to be projected all contain the same number of CVs. It will prompt first to select the vantage Point, then the curves […]
