Eventscape

A month ago we took part in another Shazaam assignment. Unlike times prior where we worked with Lakeshore Arts to produce T-Shirts and school propaganda, this time we worked with a company called Eventscape; makers of large architectural sculptures and buildings such as the Bean. For our assignment, to create a cost effective and nice looking sculpture for the school.





The project took weeks, by the time we (the CyberARTist) were introduced into the project, an art class help to conduct what could be called phase 1 of the project. The demographic research or the background info for potential sites...whatever you want to call it really. When we were included into the project we created 3D model and 2D sketches on a daily basis. Some were ones that we used to get closer to the final product and others were scrapped. We did this both in groups and independently. As the days progressed, we were given more restrictions until we could form the final product which ended up being a ribbion like sculture. This will at some point be placed in site C, west of the school parking lot. It has lots of trees, it's next to the field and the side walk and lots of shade. It seemed apropriate. We all had different ideas on what the finished product should look like. Mine was a varient on a group model that we created.


Essentually, my idea was to have a double sided placed in site C. It would seats would be one seat, just wrapped around what would act as its back. This way you have a view of the feild on one side and a view of the road on the other side. The side would also have two garbage cans side by side. This bench differed from the original concept on the basis that it was originally bigger, it had a roof, making it versitile no matter the time of year and it wasn't double-sided. What I kept from that version was the basic shape and the trash cans. I liked this design because even though I liked it's parent idea a little better, this was a way to maintain what I liked about it to adapt it into something similar. This model was once compared to "two waves crashing into each other, which is an interesting statement I never really though about.
