This project is based on a fictional hoarder called Spencer Hansen, who lives in a tunnel complex under Stuyvesant Town. He ventures out every night and collects lost, forgotten, and discarded objects, manically trying to piece together the identity of the contemporary New Yorker. He collects all these objects in the tunnels, which function as a public display of his findings.
The first drawing addresses an orb weaving spider. The location of the tunnels relative to the frame remains the same, but the tunnels are now webs, and the artifacts collected are passing insects.
The second drawing addresses a fetish group attracted to furry objects. The poche of the section is covered in black fur, offering a tactile experience of the ground. Simultaneously, it makes the cluttered tunnels seem like they are made out of fur, a proposition that is very appealing to the fetish group.
“Section” Format: Pop-up Book
Audience: Performer
Intent: Represent the spatial and visual relationships afforded by the building design as it relates to performance. Gesturally illustrate the see and be seen (and be heard) dyad (triad). Answer questions: Where will I be seen? Where will I be heard? Where can I see? Where can I hear? Where will I be hidden?
Distributed: On site, in pamphlet form.
Workflow Overview: Digital 3D --> 2D --> Analog 3D
Workflow Overview 2: Construction --> Deconstruction --> Reconstruction
Workflow Detail: Rhinoceros 3D, Illustrator, Printing, Cutting, Folding, Assembly.
“Section” Format: Pop-up Book
Audience: Engineer
Intent: Demonstrate primary concept of design, creation of vertical visual relationships which span between and “connect” horizontal floors.Presented as a relationship which must be maintained, strengthened, and physically supported through proposed structural system.
Distributed: Amidst other drawings, within larger presentation to engineer.
