PROJECT 3 - EVE ZORAWSKI: Suburban Intervention

3:1 DESIGNER'S STATEMENT
3:2 PERSPECTIVES
3:3 ORTHOGRAPHIC DRAWINGS
3:4 SCALE MODEL

I found that Puryear’s work, being almost humble, required a different kind of presentation than the traditional. With this inspiration, I intended to generate the viewer’s experience to be variable. I designed a several different vantage points, which enables viewers to experience the piece in whichever way they feel comfortable. One can look up at, sit beside or stand on the same level as the piece. I also created several entrances/exits that enable the gallery to have more than one configuration of traffic flow. With the form of the gallery, I intended to create a simple design in order to facilitate Puryear’s sculpture to stand out with ease. The space is relatively enclosed to provide protection from the street and surrounding environment, though I left carefully placed reveals in order to generate curiosity and interest of the passersby.

2:3 COMMENTS


A - B
FINAL

When deliberating the rendering style for this project, I was instantly compelled to use simple and strong graphic elements. The Canadian Pacific Tower itself is a strong statement within downtown Toronto with Mies van der Rohe's exquisitely Modern style. For Prototype A I intended to recreate van der Rohe's sketchy rending lines- attempting to obtain the appropriate visual essence of the building.

For my final rendering I chose to combine the clean rigid lines from Prototype B and elegance of Prototype A's emptiness. I also revised my measurements and other details. I find that this rendering makes an interesting marriage between my graphic style and the richness of the Modern building.

"Made from a variety of natural materials — including wood, tar, rawhide, and stone — Martin Puryear's distinctive sculptures combine modernist geometry with international craft traditions. Influenced by woodworking, basketry, and construction techniques, the pieces at times resemble familiar objects. By blending cultural references, however, Puryear avoids fixed associations of time and place."

RELATION BETWEEN STILL AND MOBILE:

Combining STILL PLANES with the TRAFFIC WEB map created a remarkable contrast between the two forces and how they interact with one another.

Certain planar forces become combined with mobile forces creating a hybrid force, for example as seen with the interaction between FIELD/PARKS- in planes and UNPAVED PATHWAYS- in traffic. (See Image). The two forces also complement one another to better understand their singular relevance. For example, though the Public Transit parking lots take up a great percentage of still planes, during certain times of day they do become quite active.

RELATION BETWEEN ETHNICITY AND ACTIVITY LEVELS IN AREA :

Combining DAY AND NIGHT: SOCIAL ACTIVITY with the OLD AND NEW: POPULATION, SETTLEMENTS and ETHNICITY map enabled us to better understand residential and commercial forces in a more abstract way.

The DAY AND NIGHT: SOCIAL ACTIVITY map begins to inadvertently represent more commercial areas as well as the OLD AND NEW: POPULATION, SETTLEMENTS map which does the same but with the residential. The combination also emphasizes the development of the old Canadian settlements in the area and how they might have migrated and spread.

ONTARIO COLLEGE OF ART AND DESIGN


1. After Alsop Architects were appointed the project for the Sharp Center for Design, Will Alsop instigated a series of client workshops in which early concepts of the center were developed with the university's staff as well as students.

2. According to CUDO (Common University Data Ontario), as reported in 2006, there were only 59 Male international students studying full-time at the Ontario College of Art and Design, as opposed to 116 Female international full-time students.

3. According to the infamous www.myocad.com's professor grading feature, Professor Robert Saxon currently holds the position of the least favourite instructor among students at the Ontario College of Art and Design with an F+.

4. January 9, 2007 - J.W Beatty's Painting Winter Sunshine, Bellefountain (Cabin at River's Edge in Winter) was found missing from a private office at the Ontario College of Art and Design. The Group of Seven painting was last estimated to have a value of 25,000$

Project 1:1 - FINCH

HIGH DENSITY: FINCH, PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION HUB

A series of photographs complied to create an animated documentation of people descending from a bus intended to give an idea of the traffic flow and density.

A recording of the typical sounds you will encounter on your way to the Finch bus terminal. Imagine yourself walking down the street towards Finch station, past the buses, entering the terminal and finally into the subway system. The abundance of sound is directly related to the high density of people and vehicles. When stepping off a quiet bus, it is not unusual to feel bombarded with these sounds and slightly unsafe.


NIGHT AND DAY: THE CONTRAST IN OLD KOREA TOWN
In the older part of the Yonge and Finch area, there are several Korean bars, eateries, hair salons and other commercial spaces scattered about. This area appears to be unkept but comes to life at night; it becomes a popular place for people to eat and socialize.

PARKING: CREATING A CEMENT WASTELAND
Above ground parking lots take up almost 20% of the area and are usually, in themselves relatively large. There is poor supervision, thus, when evening comes these lots become potential criminal zones.

DEAD SPACE: ON YONGE STREET?
There is an abundance of dead space in the area. This makes the area look disorganized and incomplete. High-end Condominiums juxtaposed with garbage filled lots is not uncommon.
