represents that part of the brain. i decided that i will model both sides of the building according to either of the sides of the brain - one side of the building will be made up of linear, simple structures (left side of the brain-logical) and the other will be one of chaos and randomness (right side of the brain-creative) i plan on the viewers entering the center corridor of the museum which will have two adjacent walls on either side consisting of people sleeping in sleeping pods (logical side-linear and simple, a perfect environment for sleeping) and their dreams projected onto the dream portals across from them (right side-chaotic & random - dreams are creativity at its purest). I picture these dream portals as a large wall of chaos. imagine 468 tv screens all flickering at once (thats what i have in mind). i think walking through this corridor will be an experience to remember in itself and the focal point or "main exhibit" of my museum.
there is access to the sleeping pods located behind the large wall. it consists of a staircase and long corridors spanning the length of the wall.
in the case of the dream portals, there is no reason to have access to them so i dedicated the space behind the dream portals to the "dream theatres". these theatres will allow the viewers to watch the projected dreams more closely, most probably in the form of holograms.
my only problem now is creating these rooms and how they will affect the facade. i am looking into right now modeling the facade to resemble a circuit board. for some reason i feel like it relates back to the overall theme of my project because computers and technology are the future and my project is very much futuristic and also that the circuit board in a computer is often referred to as the "brain" of the CPU and the brain is a main component of my project as well. sooo what i picture is the viewers entering behind this giant wall of projected dreams to find a chaotic series of rooms and pathways. (picture yourself walking through a life size circuit board)my overall idea is that the museum is not only one of viewing but also one of participating. the viewers themselves will be able to spend time in the sleeping pods and have their dreams projected over to the dream portals and will also be able to view others dreams as well. the whole premise of my project is futuristic, so the concepts i am stating (such as projecting dreams) are totally fictional and imaginative. i hope i made some sense.....
I think your idea is solid and it is totally understandable. The only comment I have is with the right-side/chaotic portion of the museum. I get that the chaos will come from the hundreds of screens projecting the dreams, but why not also reflect this in the layout of that side of the building? You are currently showing it as a grid with circles.... not very chaotic. Perhaps switch that up a little and really play with chaos and randomness.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I like the idea of the circuit board but I think that since your museum is bisected you should have 2 different facade systems that relate to the 2 sides of the brain. The circuit board would be more left side I think. And for the right side, something more free form and random.
Hope that helps! :)
