Concept Development







From a long quote by an idol of mine, Karen Blixen (Isak Dinesen), in which she describes how much Africa changed her life and made such an impression upon her but wonders if she left any impression upon it, I developed my concept for the Gregory apartment remodels. The quote is about being so influenced by something that it changes you and you will forever have the impressions that it left upon you. I think this relates very importantly to the way one should feel about their home. Home's decor, style and all it's associations have forever influenced everything about us.

From this idea of influence and impression, I sketched some parti drawings reflecting these ideas. A dominate shape of curves, similar to a ripple effect, started to emerge. An idea of an implication of constant movement was formed. And upon this path, representations of influence would be present.

My model shows these ideas through its curving shape, implying continuity, and through abstract representations of a figure moving along the path, encountering another larger object, passing through that object and coming away with something from that object.
