ARCH 1201 - Final Presentation Model Photos

"Firstly thanks to Sandra and all who made this project possible."

Narrative - " A lonely man lost in the middle of a tundra at night searching for light and warmth to rest in."


Like my drawings I decided to take a photo to show the vast natural environment enclosing this structure



To give a brief view of the model from the surface to give a general idea of the composition of the elements necessary to enter the cave. I made the lighting to be a strip of light in order to focus on the main area where the narrator will interact with the building.


A upper corner photo shows the strength of the light coming from within the structure itself, beaming into the distance and beyond.


Looking from the edge of the valley the narrator gets lured into the glowing interior space hiden from view at plane view.


The narrator gradually moves around the valley in order to attempt to enter the valley via the ramp on the other side. The spread of the glow almost seem like it is following the narrator himself taunting him to enter the valley.


The narrator makes his way towars the ramp where he realised the danger envolved with the isolated ramp and the gradual descent at first but the gradual increase in steepness. There will be a point where the narrator will almost seem to slide into the valley and after then the escape from the valley seems almost impossible.


After realising that he will not be able to climb back up the cave he starts to make his way to the destination where the light continuous pours out welcoming him into the enclosed space under the mass and ground.


At this point he will be able to witness a clear difference in elevation where he is now in a basement like area and that the tundra/ reality is above him. He has finally escaped the harsh reality and hopefully enter his delusional world through the mystical portal.



As he enters due to the blinding light he looks back to reassume himself of the exit from the space. The light emphasises the delusion and supernatural aspect of the space. Seeing the blurry reflections and a room full of mirrors he begins to imagine distorted views of himself thus forcing him into a different world.


When we gazes back to the entrance it is long behind him. Instead he dwells furthur into his more comfortable delusional world.
