Concept Design

Assignment

Create three (3) collage boards (11×17) showing the following:
1. Your impression of the site you have selected (not images of the site)
2. The word “Edge”
3. One collage based on the program of your project. The Collages should have images that inspire, show different outlines, scales, details and materials.

Site

At the site we see many layers, reaching back into history and going until the present day. There are old brick buildings, the paint that was added to some of them, more recent buildings, and layers being added to this day. We see destruction but also regrowth. Even so, the site has an empty feeling. Something is missing, a space waiting to be filled.

Edge

Edge as contrast. A sharp delineation. But not all edges are so sharp. We can pass through an edge without being aware of it. (blurred area) A tipping point is another form of an edge. Not just in the material sense, but as the point of change. Edge can also represent constraints, such constraints do not have to be physical or or even visible. Whenever someone "goes beyond" it can be considered going over an edge.

Program

A makerspace, where people come together to create. Transforming raw materials into finished—and often innovative—projects, can require collaboration. People and disciplines can come together.
