Assignment 5:
Inhabitation Transformation
"The cleverer I am at miniaturizing the world, the better I possess
it.....One must go beyond logic in order to experience what is large
in what is small." --Gaston Bachelard
Sukawi Somawidjaja
Objective:

ï To reinvent a form and see it in a new way
ï To become comfortable with modeling to scale and working precicely with existing geometry.

Create a new narrative

Take a look at the sculpture of furniture that you modeled for Assignment 4. What would it be like if it were magnified to be 50 times larger so you could walk into it, drive through it or fly to it? If you turn it sideways could it be a skyscaper, a space station or a surrealistic garden? What would it be if it were in a playground of the future? Who or what would live there and what would they do there?

Your job is to tranform one of the digital models to fit an imagined story about a human or animal inhabitation.

To change the reading of the sculpture, start by rescaling the whole thing. You may turn the piece any orientation, hollow out parts, add openings, bridges, chimneys, overhangs, roads, paths etc. Use appropriately sized doors, windows, scale figures, trees, stairs, vehicles, etc. to tailor the scale to your imagined inhabitant or inhabitants.
