Lightscapes

I've been all about lighting recently and wanted to share a few of my favorites.

Henry Leon Charbonnier Performing Arts Centre

I apologize for the lack of posts, but I have officially finished my senior exit project! I have designed the Henry Leon Charbonnier Performing Arts Centre for Athens, Georgia. The space features two concert halls, the 750 seat Albert F. Ligotti Hall and the 190 seat Studio Theatre. The lobby of the complex inhabits the Old Clarke County Jail, and an additional structure has been designed for the two theaters. The concept behind the project is a community connection to both the building and to music itself. The forms of the building evoke a musical score with gradations in forms and juxtapositions of delicacy and strength. The following images are my large 3' x 7' banners for the exhibition. I'll be updating my website with this project soon, and I'll add large images of the drawings and renderings.

Concert Hall Concept Image

I've been working diligently on my senior exit project, a concert hall located in Athens, Georgia. I wanted to share my concept image to portray the types of sculptural forms I've been studying during this project.

Also, I've been building a website of my work and will share when it is completed.

Blooming Structures

 

Sivan Royz's Blooming Structures are laser-cut pieces of silk strung together with string.  The density of the silk curves results in the darkness of color.  The forms are hollow to hold particular items such as iPhones, though I'd rather just admire them than use them as a purse.

Shoes+Sculpture+Architecture

Sarajevo native Tea Petrovic designed a collection of shoes inspired by Russian sculptor Nuam Gabo and Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava.  This collection, Petrovic's graduating project, is composed of Gabo's "linear construction... the idea of levity, transparency, and complex structure" and Calatrava's "accent on detail."
