Installation of the Installation

From allowing the mind to wonder it amounted to the idea that we should take the sense of room back to its rawest form. The idea from creating spaces for the rooms within the city to a concept that represents the city in an overall form with the indivdual rooms within the city being the makeup and buildup that a chaotic city achieves.

In simple terms we saw the city as a room itself enclosing the vibrancy and movement that all cities boast. This is represented as a large box which in turn is made out of a number of smaller boxes which show the room within that overall room.

The Texture Map created, allowed us to think directly how we could manipulate or enhance these boxes in order to create a visual representation of these rooms.

The Cubic Room

As the word room began to develop in our minds we felt we had move to far away from the essence of the city room and the overall idea that the city itself is a room on a national if not international scale.

The use of the map and the word rooms provokes how these two elements could be used in one instance. Our participation in the persona studies allowed for elements and characteristics from these personas to use our installation in a number of different ways.

The journey was defined by the map so therefore should the installation be defined by the journey, the turns and corners of a map create the rooms of the journey. Depicting the journey and the rooms depend upon what rooms within the city remain so prominent within the mind.

A tunnel can be classed as a long room in which a journey can be taken but what about the rooms leaving this room will they have a more defined purpose.

The enclosure created by a cities walls can define a way of thinking

Expanding the idea of "room" should the participant be enclosed or should the enclosure be created by the participants occupation within the "rooms".

A 15 minute brainstorming session can materialise into a wealth of knowledge, ideas and excitement. From the models we made we developed the conceptual ideas that had grown and began form a plan of strategy about how we could complte our journey instalation.
