First semester started with an interesting project, which on the one hand does not look like an architectural, however, at the end of the work we realised how useful it was in starting Research Retreat project.
The aim of the project was working in groups represent our feelings and impressions about the Hospitalfieild and surroundings. The ways of presenting were slightly different, some groups made installations, some organized journeys our group decided to make a video, which would represent our emotions. The concept of our project was to show the repetition of life, life and death, rebirth and time. This was the key points we were focusing after our site visit. Through group discussions we decided to make a video and created a storyboard. As a Hospitalfield is located near the sea we thought that the connection to the sea would be quite nice way to represent our feeling, so we tried to find some symbols which would show our philosophy. The idea was that the person is going out from water, but it stays dry, he also is holding sand, which falls through finger, this is the symbol of time that goes quick, but we can hold it and even control sometimes so in the end of the video sand goes back to our arms. Waves represent repetition of life and rebirth.
I really enjoyed the process of making the video. We went to St. Andrews beach where our two brave boys went to the freezing sea. It was really exciting experience for them. After we finished filming, we moved to montage. The last stage of the project was creating two books one about Hospitalfield, its features and our concept, another about the process we went through to create this video.
This experience gave me a lot of ideas for the next project and it was really fascinating to see how other groups showed the same ideas in different ways. Such projects help us to think more about the philosophy of the place and how it will influence design of the building, which I think very important to design successful building.
