PROJECT 2- ROOM AND NARRATIVE- final model
Exterior:
In my design, I am trying to construct a maze which visualizes the idea of confusion and the optimism from the middle age woman in the painting.
For the exterior, it was constructed with simple and plain walls with only one opening and for the interior; it was a complex maze structure. These symbolize the peaceful out looking woman with confusing thoughts. All these indicate that although the lady looks calm, her thoughts about the role of her life is confusing.
Light ( Direction):
And there are openings on the top of the maze, which lead the light into the maze. The light re-visualizes the optimism of the lady and the light coming from the large opening of the painting.
The light leads the way out of the maze and shows the direction. Furthermore, there are no light at the dead-end.
And the light was directed only onto the corners of the pathway. this indicate the idea of "turning point of the life". Although we might choose different choices for our life, if we have a target ( exit), we can always reach our final destination.
Maze Structure:
There are different tempo for the stairs at the edges and the inner maze. For the outer stairs, it got a slow and relaxing tempo, as it is much wider and deeper for every step. And a fast and complex tempo is used for the inner stairs, because a narrow and smaller stairs are constructed.
The circulation of the maze:
