Disintegration of Perspective


Disintegration of perspective. as considered by QJD design studio
The next study is the concept of buildings that are viewed from one main vantage point and appear to be a complete shell. however if you approach this building from any other direction the building disintegrates.
Incidentally the colours on my sketches bear no resemblance to the colours shown when i upload the image to blogger - (the green is yellow.)
when looking at the green (should be yellow) cladded elevation front on - you will see the building as a shell. there are sculptures playing with this concept in shadow and in 3 dimension. I feel many buildings designed by the ancients incorporate this concept. whether its faces that subliminally jump out of the fenestration or shapes that appear from afar. I am very excited by this concept and will continue to explore its many possibilities.
