This
project was a ten day exercise in creating a design that was
"Eco-spectacular". Context was to be ignored so that ideas could be
generated without restraint with the word CYBORG and abstract images
driving decision making. Programing was to be introduced afterwards
once a spectacle was created.
The
Project is essentially a flat plane in which designated areas have been
"dug out", each filled with a different type of ecosystem. During the
day these subterranean gardens, their vibrant colors and textures viewed
from both above and within, becomes a "natural" spectacle.
Once
night falls, the flat plane above that was once secondary becomes a
different kind of spectacle, one that is mechanical and man-made. The
glow of the light grid distorts the vastness of the site and introduces a
very different spacial experience than that of the day, demarcating new
areas for occupation.
