Final Collages: Color

Exploring color and form and how it can appear colorless on the exterior, but reflect color on the interior

Exploring color and having the entire exterior be black and have the color pop and reflect on the interior

Exploring color and setting up a strict grid from black to white and using natural objects and blurring them together to reveal color the blend through the grid lines together.

Tate Modern: Adaptive Reuse

Video for expansion

The Tate Museum took a former Electrical Plant and re-purposed it into something new and exciting, a museum, instead of tearing it down. The additions that were made almost seemed to float on or above the space, giving the main attention to the original built form.

Reflection

I found this piece to be inspiring because it reflected the Lloyds of London Building and the sky backwards, to give you a different view/perception of an already corky building.

Boundaries

Boundary between landscape and building

Why should they have a boundary painting on the building?

Mirror boundary filled with green

Boundary between art and design... all functional pieces

I found this different instances to be inspiring in thinking about my boundaries collage.

Paint Samples...another purpose!

 Re-nest

I found this pieces, all made of paint samples, to be interesting because they were using paint samples for another purpose, art. Instead of just using them to pick out a color and tossing them to the side. These pieces were inspiration for my color collage.

Speechless.

This remaining piece of the Berlin Wall and the way I captured it on a cold, rainy day, just reminds me the power in which something architectural like a wall can have. How it can cut you off, make you feel trapped, or isolated. But it can also be a place for freedom of expression and art.

Transformation

Before

Before

After

I remember driving along this street when I was a kid, these places houses were dumps and filled with uncaring tenants. Today it is a secret little getaway in an old mill town, across from an old mill that is know a famous contemporary art museum. I find this building inspiring because these apartment buildings should have been torn down, but instead someone saw the beauty in them and the importance they played to the history of the former mill as housing.

Mill to Musuem

Firm

My Me' Me' use to work here making pennies when it was Sprague Electric. Today the complex has been refurbished and saved, and made into a contemporary art museum. It is great to see how a huge, abandoned complex, was able to be transformed into a museum. What does that say about existing structures? Are they really only built for one purpose?

Inflatable Chapel

Article

Bringing all religions together, to one sacred space. I like the idea of bringing all religions together, and people with no religions together, to a common sacred spiritual space where they can reflect on whatever they want, pray to whomever they want, or just sit in silence and piece if they want. I also find it interesting that it is on a college campus, where religion is highly controversial.

Image that will forever be engrained in our minds:

What I like about this piece, is that this is an image that will forever be in our generations mind and will have a great impact on all future thoughts, designs, and considerations.
