There are some opacities here. The individual experience volumes image (with the laptops) seems to be in opposition to the associative color description below it. Yes, each individual will have their own experience in each volume regardless of color, but for your idea and an attempt at clarity, I wonder why the volumes on this image seem so interchangable. The women is walking through blue space, and below red, yellow, purple are all treated equal. This seems out of step with your thinking.
The emotion metaphor might turn into an emotion meter. What changes for the individual when they move through each level and how is it recorded? Is there a time tracking system?
The last image seems less an elevation than the open sentance of a design thesis. Maybe describe why these images are important to you. What does an unfiltered elevation of the Dartmeouth street facade truly look like?
The section is quite revealing! Its scale alone reinforces a notion of duration in travel. I can understand and begin to imagine the voids within the overall skin. I would like to understand volumetric conditions as they relate to the plan. The floor plans you presented at the end of the intensive were in sharp contrast to the calming condition of the model and your pre-intesive graphics. They had an intensity that made them quite believeable. The section is starting to hint at this, but I think, needs further commitment. When I look at a section I am constantly decoding it and trying to formulate a plan in my head. Your plans forced me to try that in section, and it is more dangerous than anticipated. My feeling is the section of your building, showing the volumetric intersections and communication between levels is actually more dynamic than you are revealing. The plans delivered a sort of vertigo, it seems to me the sections should as well. More spatially than circulatory. The escalators work, I am not convinced about the space.
Finally, the most respectful thing you can do after spending 19 hours a day building relationships around studio, is to do exactly what you are doing; providing ideas as gifts, continuing the work in a way that forces each to ask, how has Amr's idea evolved and why? Communication comes in many forms. Producing work is one of the stronger delivery methods. I applaud all of you who have continued working, carrying on your work individually.
Amr, I think your first stab at the section is great. I am going to suggest you push it further. What makes each of these spaces an individual experience? Like Ted mentioned, your one graphic shows the same person in the same situation just a different color applied to the image. I think it is more than this for you. Your project has been so focused on time and this has resulted in volumes of space. Can you depict the experience one is feeling in time? I think you need to pursue the section deeply and possibly demonstrate some perspectives that illustrate the personal experience of the individuals in your store. I think it is progressing very nicely though. Great work at home!
I am still impressed by your methods of presentation. I know it takes double the time to set up these posters, however you make it seem effortless and brilliant each time! How is the store going?
