A Narrative of Space: No. 3

The third of my three spaces that I designed is based on evolution and the representation of the immaterial concept of the passage of time by the physical swinging of the pendulum. In this space I utilized the kit of parts that includes two “solids”. These take the form of a singular curved wall, and a second curved form that is enclosed at one end. The singular curved wall leads into an intention in the floor at its middle, which represents the evolution of the implied arch that occurs with the swinging of a pendulum. The shape of this wall also creates an interactive element in the space as one steps up and down the shelves that are housed in this curvilinear wall. The inhabitant of this space would also have to sway from side to side as the moved around this imposing structure. These small openings lead out into the vast open format of the rest of the space, which is to resemble our current modern age, joining both the past and the present. As for the second solid that is enclosed at one end, this place is to house more private hygiene activities. This second solid also relates to our original primordial cave dwellings in that its height is only seven feet, and that it and the curved wall are made out of a rough cut stone. I also chose this material to represent the solidity, and the unchanging cycle of the passage of time
