Grafted Landscapes - An Alternate Picturesque: October 2009

•Week 2- Traffic Lights

I am trying to live Air Streets as one street, when the lights on in Regent Street for 30 seconds, like flowing through the Air Streets with same feelings.

Or maybe i should accept the Air Street(s) as it is and keep going to catch connections with perspectives even if the lights off in Regent Street.

•Week 2- If the atmosphere in Lavender Hill would be as same as in Air Street?

•Week 2- Observations of Lavender Hill

This is the work we have done with Hakan in the Perry Kulper`s workshop. This motel has been formed by using analogical method as a machine which looks like a spider. Spider`s body has got a potential to occur spaces when it needed. It can transform with reference to seasons and user’s preferences. The rooms can also move and change their previous places to benefit from different landscapes. For presentation I put a few images together to find more about transformation. I also wanted to design this motel as a part of environment.
