Animation :)

In my animation, I intend to show how light can change a space, as opposed to simply displaying different ‘types’ of spaces. I chose to keep the same view and just play with the beams throughout the day. From the first cold rays – to the strong warm rays of the afternoon to the coloured cool rays of the evening. I chose to work on black paper as opposed to white to emphasise/exaggerate the colours and “light”. These are the key frames I was working with.

Possible p.o.v. for Animation

These were some of the views I was considering for my animation. The first ons is of the staircase as they received the most light; but I soon decided against it as it didn’t provide me with enough ‘flat surface’ to play with the light’s orientation throughout the day. The second of these is of the studio or work space on the 5th floor. I considered it due to it’s orientation (opposite the glass wall or windows), but I realised the sun didn’t exactly shine through them :(
That’s when I decided to consider my final view or work space, which was the top floor looking at an angle towards the dividing wall and the windows. This perspective allowed me to show the sun’s rays as they beamed through the windows opposite the glass wall, even though they(windows) are not in view, and it also provied enough flat surfaces to show the light’s progression throughout the day.

Architecture In Motion - Task 1 (Wk02)

Architecture is based around the inspired and effective division or formation of a given space(s). As new materials and technologies became available, architecture has developed and adapted to the new possibilities. One of the key features of modern architecture is the constant use of glass and the development of wider spaces, or providing the illusion of open spaces which make the use of natural light. With the development of dynamic architecture the building can actively change it’s orientation to make the most of it’s surroundings and latural light. Light allows us to percieve our surroundings, without which we would have a different or little unsterstanding of the spaces around us. It also helps create and change moods within these spaces, to relax or intrigue us, or to create illusions of non existant spaces.
