One point I took from the last part of the project was to explore the material and textile of the entrance and exit. In order to continue the flowing and light yet vulnerable atmosphere, I decided to use a translucent fabric that falls elegantly. The fabric is very responsive to movement which helps in demonstrating the important feature of movement in my design.
After deciding that the space needed a bit of colour, I pushed my design even further. On a second track, I created a curtain of red tulle. The tulle represents the uncomfortableness experienced by the strangers as it is rough and not as flowing as the white transluvent fabric. I chose red because it is a colour associated with ergency and gets the heart reacing. This is a contrast to the soft, flowing white and neutral colours of the rest of the space.
In my redesign of the entrsnce, the white curtain sits perfectly on the floor, creating a sense of serenity and protection whereas the red tulle is longer drooping on the floor. This forces the occupants to move around it.
The tulle also vocalizes movement as it creates defined visible folds. I want the design to not only infuence the occupants but also llow the occupants to influence it and therefore influence eachother.
