Notes from Final crit

How did you arrive at the shapes you cut out of the wood in you intervention? They’re all specific to that viewpoint – It’s the quality of light that’s going to determine the atmosphere.
Look at the film as a way of studying the site – the film of the site is very suggestive – lots of interesting details
How do you enter the site and film it? When you limit things we start to pay attention
What are you after in the site? Perhaps look back to Hitchcock and refer to his filming techniques
Peeping tom idea
Opportunity to draw someone in through thresholds, bringing them in - inside versus outside
Light studies nice and effective
You’ve got an empty site - how are views and apertures to be used/intended for the site
What does the window do to the spaces on either side of it?
Active open and closing of something –ex of bathroom with transparent stalls that turn opaque when you close the door
Allowing access to what’s happening on the other side
A lot happening in the presentation you’ve got a lot of potential
Panoptic device
Soho – hugely commercial space
You’re doing a lot simultaneously
They’re even a little perverse – male gaze, voyeurism
What does this have to do with the program? Do you want to relate it to the program?
You’ve got a real organization – that’s extremely helpful and could be insightful
Art and crafts movement – art is an attitude and is also voyeuristic
Film showed most potential for how you want the project to be
How do you allow light into the building – perhaps play with summer solstice idea…etc
If you’re after exposure you can use the peeping tom subvertly
This could be an intention to go after – soho is great for this because everything is on display
Do you see this as a sanctuary?
Broken kilometer – W Broadway
Wasn’t art for the longest time in service to religion?
Pinhole cameras worth looking at Your project has a poetic interest
Lose the rear window argument - focus on lighting studies instead
If now you drop the whole rear window aspect are you looking at the window now as a camera shutter?Different views from opposite sides of the window – At night from inside you look out the window and see black, from outside looking at windows you see them lit up (during the day is the opposite
