[2 plantrooms]Atmosphere models

These are the multifunctional models one showing a drainage system so that other than being able to use storm water as a resource to not only water the plants but being able to filter it and then having a kind of waterfall happening around it. The plants will be placed on the top where the lining is coming through and would almost be crawling out of the spaces made. The visitors/tourists/travellers will walk through the middle (where the empty space is) and somehow interact with the plantroom and enjoying not only looking at the plants from the outside but maybe from the roots as well.

This one shows minimal structure where we could work with the framing and tension with the strings. Here, the plant would somehow come under the three-piece platform and grow up which would seem like a bed of green mushes. There would also be vines and such dangling from the 'cranes' which would act as a support for the plants. The people will walk across the platforms to get across and have a look around plantroom, experiencing a real live jungle-type space.Different from the plant room above, this plant room will be working with the environment around, not just confining the person into this little space and expecting them to get something from it.

This is the models that work with light, shadow and type of materials. This one works with the shadows casted by the beams on top the model and the soft light that could possibly be created from underneath as the light there won't be as strong, though if there was artificial light coming through, it might be too close to create a feeling of soft light. In this space, light is controlled as to how much is allowed inside by using the walls to create an area that is kind of sealed off and then from that, slowly modifying it to adjust the light that is allowed in.

This was working with shape, shadow and material as i wanted to create a different kind of shape that would not be normally used for a plant room. Also i found out that using tracing paper as a filter of light source also reduced the amount of sharp light and changed it into soft light. The needles going through acts as a column to support it but also the shadow that it creates is also interesting as there is a sharp shadow coming along. 

This model was more about how i could created different shapes and light with random material. Here i used black foam board, string, tracing paper and needles. I experimented with the space created by this model and the structure, but as you can see this is a very confused model (the same as me when i first started on this exercise) but this was crucial as later it gave me more ideas about what i could work with and produce, which was the two models above.
