Proj2: Spatial and Temporal Sequence(Process, to be continued)


Movement and time sequence analysis is shown below. An attempt was made here to deconstruct the flim's shooting structure along with the movement of the main character, namely, Lola, achieving an idea of how the digital model will be made to animate the spatial and time sequence.

 
Maya was used for the concept design first. The basic idea is to create two paths. One for Lola, the character in the movie clip. One for the camera. Along the main spine of trajectory of camera, intervals moments and changes of directions  happened occasionally. The next step will be getting into more details of these paths and trying to set the time sequence right for the animation.

Summary of Architecture from the Outside-the future of space:toward an archiecture of invention


The author raised a question about what can philosophy and architecture benefit from each other.

There are two kinds of time. The time of the interval, the time of nontime and the time of history.  The author is more interested in the first kind of time. That’s the reason that he goes on introducing the concept of the virtual and virtuality.

Then the author gives a articulation of virtuality linked to futurity, to becoming and to differentiation. 

A logic of invention:  only such a logic can mediate between the reflective categories of philosophical thought and the pragmatic requirements of any empirical project, here the architectural project.

Deleuze said philosophy is both a mode of solving problems and a mode of thinking or theorizing multiplicities. So as the architecture. Philosophy deals with the alignments between the actual and the virtual. Architecture, is perpetually verging on the ever-increasing loops of uncertainty and immanence that its own practices engage and produce.
