Abstract/Summary of project
- I intend on creating an interactive sensory sequence that plays on the temporal aspect of a home and how this can be represented through the different materials and scales and be experienced differently through bodily senses to change our perception of “home”.
- Experimenting with different materials and how the different spaces and different weather patterns ca affect how this material changes over time.
- How these different materials can be utilized throughout the different “re” stages (relocating, recycling, and recreating) to play emphasis to different key aspects of home in relation to chosen and important resources/artists/designers/theorists.
- material thinking
- the book of skin – Steven Connor
- Home more than a physical spatial structure is a feeling that resides within. We do not occupy home; home is what occupies us.
- theorists that explore the constructs of home and how these feelings manifest themselves into our day to day lives.
- Affect Theory – Brian Massumi and Eve Sedgwick
- Being in Time – Martin Heidegger
- Naming house and home: word origins – Maria Khdorkovsky
- Architecture of Atmosphere – Mark Wigley
- This spatial design research inquiry explores through an autoethnographic lens, ways in which I interact with my home, mapping these tacit rituals and experiences through the exploration of temporal and sustainable material properties.
- Exploring different designers and artists and heir way of making and designing through research into their projects and how they have designed and made before.
- Allan Wexler’s works
- Emerging Objects – cabin of 3D printed curiosities
- Ellen Lupton – why sensory design?
- Laundry Lives – Sarah Pink
- Key to this investigation is the understanding that home is both a material and immaterial assemblage of memory, matter and event. The familiar notion of home will be reconfigured through a series of material and surface experiments, with the intention to dismantle the concept of home as a fixed entity and to reveal home as a temporal and material event-space.
- How can the temporal and delicate nature of home be metaphorically represented through the use and exploration of different materials? To see how these change the perception of a physical home through the experience of human senses.
- The significance of this research is to locate home within a transitional phase of my life, where have outgrown my family home, and at the same time I am inscribed by it. Can a feeling of home be lost? How is home inscribed materially in such a way that it is experientially relocatable? it is time to move out and move on. To identify that home is more than what we see, and home can never truly be lost.
