Orientation
The module was an introduction to space making and design processes as well as an orientation to the working culture of the school. This was brought about through drawing as a response to a provocation in order to imagine new forms, working with materials, resolving details of structure, working collaboratively and participating and fraternising towards realising a large work.
This task was not only about recalling an image but also about exploring the unconscious, translating fleeting moments of imagination into lines, textures, and forms on paper.
We were divided into five different groups after our initial drawing, which led us to create a larger drawing by incorporating similar elements from each team member.
The elements that contributed to our group drawing included the arches, aqueducts, the crowd, and a sense of movement, all of which created a feeling of being lost. We were also assigned teaching assistants who helped us throughout this module, despite their tight schedules, which ultimately led us to produce this very structured drawing.
GROUP MODEL
From our drawing, we identified three key elements: movement, depth, and density. These elements led us to the concept of an anthill, illustrating how they interact within our idea.
We began with small-scale models, combining our ideas to create something truly remarkable. Our goal was to portray the experience of being inside an anthill—conveying the density and the sense of disorientation that it brings.
