Final Project Pitch
Riddhima and Charley
What are the keywords to describe your project?
Labyrinth, negative space, shadows, networks…
What is the general scope of ideas?
Our inspiration is drawn from the Borges’ labyrinth, yet we want to create a space that feels impossible to maneuver through yet providing many paths through the negative space and a finite end.
What parts of the general scope are specifically covered by your project?
Conceptually, everything is covered – but execution might ask of us to refine our scope.
How to introduce your project?
Perhaps a large hanging model that asks the pedestrian to either duck under or step through the space.
What are your intents for the project?
To take our labyrinth model and build one on a larger scale. We want to create a labyrinth experience to confront the user in a pedestrian space.
What is the starting point for someone experiencing the project?
Seeing the large model, the user would might initially think the labyrinth is impassible. But being forced to pass through the corridor, the user will find options to navigate. There is no either route to the other side other than to attempt to navigate the labyrinth.
What does your project provide that other similar projects do not provide or provide differently? Intrigue of a route or path, self-discovery, draws the onlooker into the work, forced interaction. No defined linear path, user may find easiest way to pass.
What are the resources available to you today for this project?
Buckminster Fuller among others.
What are the missing elements for your project?
Proper materials to build our model on a larger scale.
How do you plan to provide these element?
Research and searching for elegant, cheap, strong materials.
