Abstract

dc:description.abstract

Proportions Dangerous liaisons Ultimately this project was approached As a kind of architectural choreography. As in all choreography motion plays a Major role. The motion of the participants Through the spaces, and the placement of The pieces in relation to each other. On a Smaller scale a choreography of duality. Mute, mute, light Enclosed space, enclosed space, volume Horizontal and vertical This project being a vehicle for discovery Various amounts of play and exploration Are allowed within this choreography. The amount of play allowed is both the strength and weakness of this project. With something of this range and scope there are: Direct hits, Near hits, Near misses, Direct misses, All within the whole. Finally as with anything that is thoroughly Done it is fuel for beginning and not an end In and of itself.
