Marco's Architectural Blend

Architecture Blend



UPDATE:


ORIGINAL:


My idea for this was for the merging of public and private architectural spaces. However, upon encountering some limitations with my understanding of architecture and my conflation of that terminology with interior design, I went with a slightly different blending. Blending a series of vertical Amphitheatre mezzanine columns and a spiral stairway in order to construct an arena in the visage of a spy glass out of public spaces to have it open up and reveal a bed. A bed which, while not specifically architecture itself, is indicative of private spaces. I also really liked how because I was able to catch all the people in the space unaware, they are all busy doing other things, yet are still engaged with the display, due to the constructed architecture. Constructing a simulation of the passive consumption of private lives that our society enforces within our media cultures, especially within the parasocial relationships we are encouraged to forge with our media and celebrity idols.

My concept for this project was how easy it is to become overwhelmed and lost in college. I portrayed this by taking different aspects of Rowe and combining them into an indecipherable labyrinth, emulating the feeling of anxiety and lost-ness.
