Storm clouds rolling over the seascape. The physical mass of the clouds, heavy with rain, applying pressure to the land - pending violence.
Did this little sketch to describe the layers, the rolling clouds, feeding the sea, creating waves that buffer the land. Layers of action as 3 dimensional chaos (sky), horizonal, slicing waves (sea) and linear strata (land)
The storm coming in: skyline shot at 5 min intervals. Illustrates the ephemeral nature of the landscape. I'm interested in how I might capture, amplify and transpose the fluidity of the seascape into the my major design scheme. Smithson comes to mind "nature does not proceed in a straight line... it is a sprawing development..."
could look at layering both horizontal and vertical (as you are doing in your photos) within your masterplanning and how facades & rooflines could start to become public realm so like an extension of the promenade metahor or idea of bridges that are connectors and symbols of life and also function also sea and land piers which have a different symbolism.
ReplyDeletethe main problem i have with living on the coast in this country is the way the urban grid is set out everywhere. ,all coastal towns face onto the wind and rain, shelter is lacking and wind tunnels are always created-
most of the time in this country it is raining and abit windy it would be interesting to think of a way to use the meterological nature of the sites
to more benefit.
for me its a great site how big does it have to be. ?
