For this project, I wanted to
explore postmodernity, utopia and dystopia by looking at different shapes. I feel that the earlier work – the small
models based on work from Grids –
were positive shapes that embodied the rigid structure and clarity that one
would expect from a utopian world. By
comparison, my final project was based on negative shapes. I think that the overall multifaceted
appearance of my final piece reflects the undefined complexity that one would
expect from a dystopian world. I
intended to use a variety of materials in this project which I did, even though
I wasn’t suited to a couple of them. I
used Photoshop to inform my ideas; however, I didn’t take apart photos and
reconstruct them as I wrote in my proposal.
This may have been due to the fact that I had already based a number of
my Grids work on this notion – I felt
that the idea was overused. I think that
looking into architects across a broad range of styles – Deconstructivist,
Futuristic, De Stijl, etc. – was invaluable in informing my ideas and reasoning. In conclusion, despite a few shortcomings, I
feel that I largely fulfilled the aims of my proposal.
