Reference analysis assignment

Next to our standard project, we had the assignment to do an analysis of another exhibition. For our project, this was about the Dali/Duchamp exhibition in the Royal Academy of Arts in London. Our analysis was as following.

Take aways:

The way of displaying with vitrines like they did also in the Boerhave museum is a great way to show objects and get them in the spotlight.

It is important to think about the location and what comes with that (doing that already with my project though)

Floor plans for 1:100

I made a great number of floor plans, after the bubble diagram. Such as the following few:

Take aways:

Make sure to be clear

I dont want the straight walls

#week 4

1:100 model

After the numerous floor and zoningplans I have made it was time to create a 3D model of my exhibition. That went like this.

Take aways:

more unity within the building

Art has to work together with the building artefacts

No weird boxes for the microscope

Keep one flow

Pilars as walls not a great idea

More clarity about the artefacts to be shown

Collection

First of all, I want to show the microscope of Antoni, and I want it in a prominent space. I think it is important to realize how amazing the fact is that he made this microscope over 300 years ago.

These pictures are selfmade in the museum.

Next to the microscope I want to show the drawings of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek.

These are a few of the drawings that I think are epic to display.

The pattern of the tissues is something that would be nice to incorporate in the building and the artefacts. A new post will be from that later.

Narrative intermediate presentation

My story:

I want to show Antoni van Leeuwenhoek in a nutshell. The location of the House of Delft is a place where all and sundry walk past. This makes it a place where in my opinion all those people should be able to spend time. I want to tell the story of Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, but mostly about what he saw and his discoveries. Walking through the exhbition I want people to experience the same curiosity as Antoni van Leeuwenhoek did by showing abstract objects of the microbiology. The microbiology is so incredibly interesting and I think a lot of people have never experienced such a thing and this beauty is something I want to show. Then the curiosity. This is something I want to raise by a thing I so called lingerie-architecture. By this I mean that I want people to get curious about what is inside of the exhibition. This can be done by showing small parts of what is inside but never the whole thing, which will get people curious about what is all to be seen inside.

Something I want to include in the exhibition is a little wonder. The same as Antoni must have had.

Moodcube and the narrative

My moodcube is an architectural translation of my moodboard. With darkness and seperate rooms I want to create a feeling of curiosity and secretness. This is my moodcube

Visit to Naturalis

After Boerhave in Leiden me and a few peers went to Naturalis.

We only went into the free part, due to money and time savings. In this free part the exhibition pieces were so nice that there was not that much time spent on the way they were exhibited.

Trip to Boerhave

Wednesday 15 september we went as a group to Boerhave in Leiden. Rijksmuseum Boerhaave's collections reflect five centuries of science history in the Netherlands and show what science is all about: curiosity, guts, creativity and perseverance.This is reflected in their masterpieces, including Antoni van Leeuwenhoek's microscopes.

These masterpieces are all seen that day.

What did I learn from this

The way of displaying was interesting.

The whole exhibition was dark, except for the attributes, those were light up. That made them stand out more than the rest and made it a great focus on the object.

Next to the focus on the instruments there was also a great part dedicated to the things that were found out by the use of these instruments. This way there was an understanding of what we saw, which made it more tangible for us as visitors.

What did I learn?

This way the exhibition was way more interesting

Feel like you learn something

Great prevention of dullness

Lastly, a lot of interactive activities were incorporated into the exhibition, which made it fun and kept you curious.

Visit botanical garden

As an outing, we went to the botanical garden belonging to TU Delft. Besides being an interesting fun trip, there is also a takeaway that I have picked up here. That is: I want to show people the beauty of nature and get them excited about it.

Kijkdoos

Kijkdoos reflection

The kijkdoos had all the attributes I wanted to show. However, a few things were not great calculated by me.

The leaf dried out within 24 hours which took away the living feeling of it

It was hard to see the trees because they were very close to the eye

The kijkdoos was very dark because of the limited light

Take aways

Darkness raises a lot of curiosity (possible)

Mistakes can raise inspiration

Draw, create, walk to inspire myself

#week 1 #kijkdoos

Kijkdoos Inspiration

This inspiration was based on the working principle and view on a microscope. I want darkness in the box because a microscope takes away the light when looking as well. Next to that, I want to show how AvL zoomed in on the world by showing trees -> leaves -> cell structure.

Antoni van Leeuwenhoek

Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (AVL) was a Dutch merchant, surveyor, wine rower, glassblower and microbiologist. Van Leeuwenhoek is best known for his self-fabricated microscope and his pioneering work on cell biology and microbiology.
