Louis Kahn was another interesting architect that intrigued me. More so, Kahn's ability to manipulate light within rooms. Moving panels and the ricocheting light off walls. In a way, light through the room can create beautiful architecture, which is a concept I want to explore into this design. Something Hoppers image "Summer Sun" strives for.
Mies Van Der Rohe is one of the architects I strongly admire for his structural applications. Looking into few of his selected works and his own inspirations, I noticed his obsession with glazing and open spaces. Architecture that is light in appearance and open in ambiance. Prime Example was his floating roofs, as seen through the "Barcelona Pavilion".
Explorations of room layouts, inspirations and potential materiality.
This page brought me to more brainstorming about the narrative of the painting through the different concepts Hopper conveys in his artwork. After more thought, I've reached a yet NEW narrative:"Luminous shelter for an exhausted Triathlete, determined on a new challenge".
Exploring the Poche side of the image - the way a dark room is heavily lit up by a small opening (door or window).
These images show a general relationship between different type of walls and the different openings. Each highlighting shadow and light work of the room. The bottom sketch represents the contrast between public and private place - light and dark respectively. This is conveyed through Hoppers painting where the woman has the ambiance of darkness (inner self) within a brightly lit up room (outer self).
