Project 2: Final Presentation

Model:

Drawing:

The women site beside the drinking table that is located at a small space. However, as my design of the gate's spce, she is unwittingly invite her husband to find her emotion if her husband come back from the outside.

On the other hand, because of her situation, my design should give her a feeling that life will improve.Therefore, when she stand, she will be attracted by the more opening and bigger space subliminally going to the outside space to see some nice scenery of the site. (the section can show that from her space to the back garden of the villa, the sace will become more opening). what is more, even she site on the chair, her attention also will be detracted by the special light shadow which is created by some special skew walls. So she will unwittingly go out to relex her negative emotion in the outside garden. Consequently, this space closely contact the exterior space to achieve some purpose. Even, in their bedroom, the slanting roof also creating a spce that from small to big will lead them going balcony to enjoy the beautiful outside scenery but not in the room to not imorive her mood.

Project 2: Narrative concept's development and Site choice

My site:

As my required of my design, the nice svenery and peaceful natural environment. The image shows that this site has colorful trees and clear lake in the mountain. That is a nice place for people to improve their emotion and enjoy the natural environment.

Project 2: Painting analysis and Narrative

Automat (1927) is a painting by Edward Hopper which portrays a lone woman staring into a cup of coffee in an Automat late at night.

As is often the case in Hopper's paintings, both the woman's circumstances and her mood are ambiguous. She is well-dressed and is wearing makeup, which could indicate either that she is on her way to or from work at a job where personal appearance is important, or that she is on her way to or from a social occasion. She has removed only one glove, which may indicate either that she is distracted, that she is in a hurry and can stop only for a moment, or simply that she has just come in from outside, and has not yet warmed up.

The woman looks self-conscious and slightly afraid, unused to being alone in a public place. Something appears to have gone wrong. She unwittingly invites the viewer to imagine stories for her, stories of betrayal or loss. Automat for instance is a painting in which little appears to be happening. Hopper does not tell a story but paints a moment, a moment that includes loneliness, isolation, and a spell of the dark.

Moreover, contacting the background of the painting is during the period of Great depression in America. Therefore my Narrative is that:

In a peaceful villa, an worried women who faces big depression waits her husband's comfort.
