In the architecture tutorial in week 2, the tutors provided us a course description sheet with the artists and the architects' name on it and four articles that we needed to follow in the first submission. It required us to do the first submission model in relation to the concept provided from the article and one of architects'/artises' works.
The architects' work that I chose was the Dominus Winery designed by Herzog and de Meuron and the article I selected was "fold".
As the article mentioned "fold...are divided to infinity smaller and smaller folds that always retain a certain cohesion" and the "solid pleats of 'natural geography'", then I combined the technique mentioned in the article with the actual architecture to try to rebuild the structure. The small pieces of white mount board was used to show the small folds and as the actual structure is formed by stones, the small pieces also represent the natural geography of rock.
Reflection:
Although the model looks really simple-walls with small pieces sticking on it, but the actual time spend on it was quite long: it took me approximate 4 hours to finish the whole model. I had to admit that this model is such an inefficient and ineffective design, which showed neither relationship to the concept given nor creativity of myself. From the failure, I realised that the model we needed to do in this workshop was not a real life architecure, but a conceptual model to show our ideas.
