8. OVERLAP (PHENOMENAL
TRANSPARENCY)
â˘Overlapping is where objects in an artwork or photo
appear to be on top of one another, and each seems
further from the observer than its previous.
â˘With the use of overlapping, thereâs no way to tell
how deep the space is as the only thing you are able
to tell is which object is closer to you and which is
further.
â˘When overlapping is used alone wit flat shapes,
such as figures, ground and balanced projects, the
space will remain fairly flat.
17. The original concept of the âpre-interventionâ inspiration model is visual obstruction. The cube features triangular and
Rectangular surfaces which limit visibility throughout the space, creating pockets of partial seclusion. The intervention
concept is to maintain the existing floor-plates, stairs and division of spaces yet produce the total opposite effect from
the original model, visual transparency as opposed to visual obstruction. This is achieved by altering materiality. The
study model use plastic and wood beams to experiments with concepts of literal and phenomenal transparency, yet they
maintain the original modelâs character replicating itâs geometry and triangular forms.
