Time Architecture: Representation

For the closing event of the Presidents Medal Exhibition, William Firebrace gave an interesting presentation on the use of video and animation as a method of representation for time based architecture as opposed to static drawings. Here he showed a variety of stop motion animations that document the changing of spaces. To close the talk he presented the video of one of his students projects entitled Creative Evolution: Silvertown Ship Breaking Yard.

This video uses both 3d visualisation and stop frame animation to create an impressive representation.

This talk made me think about my linked research project and the time based nature of the ‘Google building’. If the ‘Google building’ is something that is constantly shifting then an outcome of the project could be a stop frame animation to demonstrate the interaction of the space over time as opposed to static drawings. This video could then feed into the beginning of my Thesis project.
