The Edge is a Line (Activated)






These were the diagramatic drawings i had prepared for class today. The interest is to exploit the perspectival perception of this edge and the spatial implications of that edge condition in perspective. In a serious of angular morphologies the edge itself is activated and rotated off in a gesture that is bounded by the conception of the space based on the frames orientation. Horizon plane is lost as the horizon line itself is rotated away.
Though purely diagramtic and gestural the spatial conditions that are created are hoped to be capable of orienting your perceptional view to begin to break the predispositions your mind may have to construct conceptions of spatiality purely on the orientation of the edge as horizon rather than the entity of the edge. The instillation once constructed would need to use materiality in an architecturally sensitive manner to activate the material of the actual site; the instillation would be able to 'disorient' your perception from the middle world of the material of the buildings and then 'orient' your perception to the edge of these materials.Only than can the edge be percieved as lines and the minds ability to then create a completely independent rendering of this edge in its purest spatial perceptions as an object in time and space.
