CREATIVE PLAN FOR PROJECT
Diorama Project Plan: Divided Moroccan Urban Environment
I. Core Concept and Aesthetic
Subject: A 3D miniature diorama of a Moroccan urban environment split into two contradictory states: poverty and wealth.
Aesthetic: Captured in a tilt-shift style to enhance the miniature look. Must appear as a homemade university project, utilizing visible craft materials.
Scale: Figures and elements replicate a 28mm-32mm "heroic" scale.
Base: A square cardboard box, clearly split by a central divider.
II. Construction Materials
Base/Structure: Sturdy Cardboard, Foam Board, Thin Wood Dowel.
Adhesives: PVA Glue, Hot Glue, Blue Tack (for temporary props).
Texturing: Sand, Sawdust, Plaster, Glossy Varnish.
Figures: 28mm-32mm Miniatures or sculpted Clay/Putty.
III. The Poor Side: Deprivation and Disarray
This side uses muted, earthy, and distressed textures, replicating aged, low-income Moroccan architecture.
Architecture: Cardboard structures covered in a rough stucco texture (PVA and sand mix). Buildings show disarray, cracks, and peeling plaster.
Environment: Ground is coarse, dusty sand (no paving), showing a lack of infrastructure (hospitals, schools).
Shelter/Conflict: Includes makeshift homeless tents/shelters (fabric scraps). Miniature figures depict protesters and police, capturing violence and disorder. Police banners are visible.
Violence/Realism: Viscous red liquid (dark red paint and glossy varnish) is applied heavily to the ground and buildings to represent conflict and overcrowding/human rights breaches in jails.
Symbol of Hope: A single miniature figure holds a cardboard flower reaching across the central divider.
IV. The Luxury Side: Affluence and Control
This side uses sharp lines, clean colours, and well-maintained elements.
Architecture: Cleanly cut cardboard structures with smooth, unbroken facades, painted in crisp, modern colours (white, blue).
Foliage: Lush, manicured greenery using bright model foliage and moss, contrasting sharply with the dry ground opposite.
Stadium Centrepiece: A clean, modern cardboard stadium featuring a small football pierced by a knife. Viscous red liquid pours dramatically from the ball onto the pristine stadium floor, symbolizing underlying societal violence.
V. Transitional and Narrative Elements
Police Van: A scale model police van drives from the rich side toward the poor side.
Tire Tracks: Pronounced tire tracks cross the central divide, smeared with the red liquid, indicating a rapid, violent response.
