Developing Draft Model ( Concept and Ideas)

Idea: Structural Exposure

MEGALOMANIA from Jonathan Gales on Vimeo.

This Video depicts city in total construction. The built environment is explored as a labyrinth of architecture that is unfinished, incomplete or broken. Megalomania is a response to the state of infrastructure and capital, evolving the appearance of progress into the sublime. The reason behind drawing ideas from bare structures stripped from their aesthetic appeal is that you can see what structurally goes into them. By making things off balance and deconstructing them in a way new forms and spaces can be created. Architecture doesn’t just come from being a finished product; it can be raw and exposed still conveying a space for living and entertainment. This is strongly conveyed in the original Hemeroscopium House and is a central idea that will prevail though my redevelopment and concept.
