ARCHITECTURE AS A MEDIUM


Picture 1 is an example of a HOT interior:
It is loaded with highly saturated information and leaves virtually nothing to your imagination. It is High Voltage; this type is best seen by night..







Picture 2 is an example of a COOL interior:
It does not reveal a lot of what it is about, it leaves more to be filled in by your imagination. It is White Fog; this type is best enjoyed with subtle lighting..







Spatial Characters:
If the former two can be regarded as two edges of the interior field, then I am interested in finding out if there are new ways of naming what lies in the middle. The numerous shades of colour that are out there to be captured.


I would like to find out if you can do Architectual Type Casting.


And if they were to perform in a movie, what would the plot be like, the storyboard, where would I make the cuts?


In short; what is the bandwidth between Costume Drama and Body Language?
