SPACE

The architect designs a space intended for users. The building is structured in order for a person to enter it, percieve its size, its shape, texture, temperature and smell. It offers the possibility of living (apartments, houses, etc.), short(er)-term use (school, oddice, library, gallery, etc.), or just a transitional state (railway stations, subways). No matter what it is, it is intended for users, structured for them. So without them, it is a useless, space-consuming space. However, the space can change its role several times in a shorter or longer period of time, and each time it offers the user new experiences. For the final project, I would like to create a space for quick use, with a strong visual effect. The whole concept, however, is that the space only comes to life when a visitor enters it. So I point out that space and user are interdependent.

The conceived idea is a continuation of a project from the previous year, where I also wanted to create a space that would physically represent my own performance of the workings of memory and nostalgia. For that, I assembled two objects with mirrors on which the video would be projected, and the effect of the mirrors would scatter the projection around the space all around the viewer, making it impossible to see the whole picture at once.

Why do you want to make it? I have always been interested in architecture, the logic of spaces and their design. For the thesis, I research the usefulness of private gardens within the building in which I live. The large space in the middle of the building has, in my opinion, much greater potential than is currently used or unused. For the project, I will portray this idea with a more abstract approach.

What do you want to make? Each room offers a specific usability, kitchen for cooking, office for work, hallway for connecting different rooms. Each of these spaces contains different furniture and facilities for the realization of the spatial purpose, and at the same time they specify the user's stay in the space. I want to set up a space whose purpose is to use the space itself, so there will be no facilities in it for the visitor to focus on. Part of the exhibition space will be dedicated to exhibit space - like some kind of utopia.

How would it work? I'm going to need two walls. One will act as a green screen and the other as a basis for projection. The green screen will be projected on the opposite wall only as white emptiness. Upon the visitors entering, the camera will detect the loss of green screen data, visitors silhouette will be projected on the wall with a projection, and a document / video / image covered with whiteness will be revealed in the silhouette. In order to view the entire document / video / image, the visitor will have to use the entire space with his body.

Document / video / image The revealed image is not the main concept of the project, but it will definitely give a comment in its entirety. - Still video spaces with users (market, square, metro station, library, living room, studio, ..) - Color graphics with interesting visual effects - A painted picture, perhaps a depiction of a utopia, story - Animation that the visitor would follow So far, I don’t have a final decision.

How do you plan to make it? Depends on the exhibition space that will be dedicated to us. I'm also counting on having to assemble the walls myself. I will create, draw and record the hidden content myself.

What is your timetable? January, February - Gain knowledge and technology to use green screen and video masking, first attempts, make sure it works March, April - make the necessary walls and a covered document May - Adaptation to the exhibition space

Who can help you and how? Barent can help me in the field of technical knowledge My roommate Tanit, a programmer, will help me set up image masking software
