Studio Brief 2 - Pendulums

Pendulum Perspectives

Gordon Cullen's Serial Vision technique suggests that by creating relationships between views of a place a designer can mould a narrative, creating more impact and emotion in response to a place. 

From this I have explored the pendulums from different perspectives. To reflect the journey through the corridor a sequence of pendulums gradually gets thinner as you progress down the image. This sequence of gradual compression suggests the different viewpoints of the pendulum, which you would see at intervals as you walked beneath them. This sequential image is effective in showing the journey beneath the pendulums, however the drawing could be refined further. 

These designs visualise the arrangement of pendulums from above, as if in an architectural drawing. The pendulums were fixed centrally but groups of pendulums swung in unison creating repetition along the corridor. This visualisation looks similar to a musical score and creates a flowing line which creates a sense of movement reflecting the pendulums swing.

To create a sense of the movement of a pendulum overlapping the images so the lines could be seen created a layering of moments in time. To create a sense of depth certain pendulums were brought forward but still foxed to the central point. Experimenting with the lightness of the line colour aimed to create a further sense of depth. Instead of making the closer pendulums lighter the background ones should be this colour to make it seem they are fading away.
