Title: Surreal architecture
Post by: Galemp on December 10, 2005, 11:27:06 pm
I'm too tired to explain all this, but suffice to say this semester we were to design a geometrically abstract landscape and a surrealist building to go on it. I present on Monday and I still have all the 2D sections/plans/elevations/details to do tomorrow. Maybe I'll post them too on Monday, to clarify things a bit, and do some explaining. For now I'll just let you be freaked out.

Landform and building overview with EKG equipment. Yes, it's a building.

Cutaway of the back of the Torso Tower showing interior space. That reminds me, I need to extend the spine up to the neck...

Quicktime VR perspectives:

Exterior 2 (http://harp.njit.edu/~pjo3/arch/wall/out2.mov) from the POV of the guy standing next to the hand.
Interior 1 (http://harp.njit.edu/~pjo3/arch/wall/in1.mov) from inside the transparent-roofed inkblot.

Reminds me, oddly enough, of works by the original Aken Bosch.
