Final Presentation Model

Initial Concept Sculpture CONCEPT SCULPTURE:
Sunbaking - the disconnection of mind (head) from body.
The disconnection and re-interaction of two parts of a whole. Contrast of copper skin and charcoal body. Use of lapped layers as protection for the mind (or functioning elements) of the body. Shade and sunlight, protection vs exposure.
EARLY CONCEPT MODEL:
Building divided into two major function spaces, those requiring light (exposure) vs those requiring darkness (theatre). The interaction of the two parts explored - sliding along their lengths, with entrances and activity nodes occuring at the junctures. Contrast of materials, solidity and mass (stone) vs light tensile structure (copper).
