I'm not so sure with what i'm doing (right direction or not?)
First my room have a double layers that act as a protection and similar to the thins and counter thing that have a human as a guard layer and the vehicle itself also act as a shell to protect and cover person inside.
The room intention to make similar to the mess house which visitor could or could not see the object inside, but once they walk closer or find the entrance that might be complicated and hard to reach inside, sometimes it may see just partial of the object. because in real object that both vehicle have a huge protection from many layers, so people may think they can see it and get closer but actually they never reach their king or president physically, it just mentally reaching through. But once they come in, the palanquin located in the middle but in order to experience visitor need to walk up or climb up in order to see it in different view and ornament all around the palanquin
Hi Palm.
ReplyDeleteGood start! I think there are many interesting things you are proposing. Perhaps the most interesting thing is that the visitors "distance" to the thing and counterthing serves as a diagrammatic way of demonstrating the cultural distance between visitor and subject. Or king and people. I also think its interesting to use barriers or walls for this purpose but I can't see the point of using conventional walls that come together into a closed room. There is no need. And I don't understand why it need to be protected? Against what? Remember that its only virtual. The "walls" could be made of ice cream and the podium of dust from the moon if you want to. There is no physical limitations. Consider your architectural grammar well. This leads to the question of materials. Only put ornamentation in gold on the walls etc if it communicates something specific to the visitor. Remember that the virtual pavilion is a diagram that you can walk around in. You don't put a decorative border around a diagram unless it actually communicates something. And what about the rest of the information? Assembly of parts, the formation of the procession, its place in the museum etc. All the information and more has to be in the virtual pavilion.
Lets continue the conversation. And keep it up! Looking forward to see the next step. Why don't you build your pavilion in a street environment. Then your architectural grammar might use the grammar of streets such as street lights, signs, furniture buildings on the side of the road etc.
