Atlas of Colour

As the color for my atlas is blue, i aimed for a design which will give a lightness and a easy flow throughout my atlas, the same properties which resides in the color blue.
My tunnel attempts to create a continuous, never ending waviness that is seen within the interior of Santiago Calatrava winery design in Spain.
Colors that i have used to project what i feel includes: green to reflect how this architecture manipulates itself to flow with the landscape i.e. to represent nature. White to represent the harmony of how the interior design and exterior design balances itself out. While blue implies the peacefulness that can be experienced throughout the winery.
By applying color to the tunnel, merges the 3 representations of color towards the idea of a never ending waviness. Thus presenting the wineries interior along side with the emotions that can be felt within this architecture.

Material Modeling


Basing from the word "freedom", i focused on the idea that freedom is not something that can be easily obtained, nor is it the same for everyone.
I conveyed this idea by setting a man in this wasteland, where his idea of freedom can be considered as a place green natural trees, a blue sky that's not covered in dust, and easily accessible clean fresh water. However as stated before freedom is not something that can be obtained easily. As seen in the middle of this poster this man is only able to achieve his "freedom" by chiseling through a massive wall.




Based from the same idea where "freedom" is not something that can be easily obtained, nor is it the same for everyone. Is model aims to highlight the contrast between freedom and no freedom, where one side we have a solid path with it's width of the path, the direction, and height of wall of the path is all pre-determined. Not only this, but bars are run horizontally above and below the path forming a cage like figure, projecting the idea of eternally trapped within 4 large walls.
However on the other side of the model, once seeing how trapped and confined one space can be, "freedom" from this can be understood as being completely surrounded by nothing.
