Rich and I had a discussion about architecture today after class:
Although Ross really liked the intearactive video with rocks we want to add to/modify it significantly. It needs to be more suggestive of what could actually be achieved. For example, how could this shelter us from the sun as it traverses the sky or move to block the prevailing wind?
An idea chucked around was something like big plywood sheets which could be positioned for stop frame video. Interesting to also consider what Ross said about 'pod-like' architecture, and how our group was rejecting that as the definite future.
With the growing architecture Rich is looking at finding a partly built/destroyed buiding and using it to create a video which includes computer generated models which adapt and grow depending on the state of the building. A person could walk into the building or area to become the catalyst for growth. Other buildings could also be involved in improving the space in relation to the current residents and the newcomers. The style of growth would be similar to the wall destruction animation in the last presentation.
We also looked at nets and how they could modify to fulfill different needs, (like a box net unfolding out to become a sun shelter on a hot day while letting in fresh air) but a net moving seems harder to understand/justify than the claytronics/particles theme.
Rich feel free to mod this post.

I think the thing ross really liked about the rock video was the subtle interaction of the two humans so we dont want to lose the community aspect.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using the plywood, but we should be careful when we move into showing what we actually want to achieve with the architecture because we have to really show it correctly and really commit to it or it wouldn't work.
Maybe the computer generations could show that, but the human videos could more abstract like the rocks?? just a thought. I can imagine the sheets of plywood working really well as it would explain it in more depth but still leaves it open.
thoughts?
