ARCH 1201 - Developed Design + Working Model

Working model for experimentation of delusional spaces

Like the Spiritual Retreat I created a working model for a delusional space by creating a imaginary space within a cube. The idea is created when the entrance is not clearly defined as one could enter from both sides and also the exit will be identical to the entrance itself. When the space has an entrance which is same as the exit it almost seems as the space doesnt exist as when you enter the space you immediately exit it without realising. With this idea it greatly applies with the visual effect which means it almost seem like an optical illusion. Another sense of delusion is by applying a transparent wall within the cube itself. It seems penetrable with the direct view from the entrance to the exit however through a small doorway one will not notice that there is a transparent wall embedded within the cube itself.







Working model for rough composition of the final development

The final consist of a great monumental triangular wall to narrow the vision of the narrator thus leading him into a valley of delusion and fiction. The design incoporates some ramps which lead down into the valley where the previously experimented delusion space is. The narrtor will then make his way down the valley in order to reach the outburst of light from the delusional space as he seeks warmth and rest.
