For now I just took the model I presented at last pin-up to make steel drills scale 1:200. I can use it as a skeleton to test further development of the design (drill holes, add stuff etc)...
to be continued...
comments,tips, etc very welcome!
Ah and I was thinking to put them in acid in the end and make them corroded...???

Thresholds as points of gravitation:
desire to escape will determine perception of space and reflect hierarchy of the generic plan.
maybe I'll make the super analogue drawing, banning line weights...
some stuff invisible through line weights, and still a bit of a diagram.......
plans are on their way...
1. CLEANSE
2. CONFESS
3. CONVALESCE
4. COGNISANCE
5. CREATE
6. COMMUNICATE
Inspired by the Carceri's of Piranesi, I was testing space and scale.
Same space, different sizes of material which I think deals with experience and behaviour of environment? There is a prison somewhere in North Carolina (of course) in which the isolation cell is a kind of 'psychedelic torture': vivid yellow paint with purple dots in different sizes..... Can i have a rope, please...?
...which doesn't mean it will become year of the brick, just a quick test...
the footage from Ritz that wrote the famous, final scenario of Diana in Paris...
Just a thought to use the cctv point of view (though not exclusively) to represent a sequence of spaces, activities, escapes, riots....
'Through the eyes of the invisible guard' (muhahaha)
"The
medieval monastery or convent sought to eliminate the private and all material
distractions to encourage and enrich the spiritual life: a plain cell and minimal
possessions encouraged meditation on the transcendent, while intricate and
elaborate rituals involving precious objects, the enactment of mysteries and
the communion of prayer, response and music asserted the triumph of the
spiritual over the temporal, the balance of individual and collective."
