Week 2.2

Folie Concept

The story and the background will be explored through the design process and the context of the site. The story can be extrapolated through the use of materials and the experience of the folie. Through the use of collages and superimposed photo manipulated images will give great depth and meaning to the story and concept.

Folie Context

The folie context will be the most important of the five ideals in our groups opinion. It is through the context you can explore the concept the experience and the function. Without a strong context the folie can look awkward and bizarre when placed in the site. The folie must harmonize with the site its surrounds and the greater Brisbane context.

Folie Function

The function of the folie is most creative of the five design outcomes. It can add depth and meaning to the folie. This can further define the concept and create a powerful design solution. Using bold materials and colours could add both to the context and the design. Varying the experience within the folie is a very important idea to add to the aesthetics of the function.
Folie Tectonic

The tectonic is the forgotten outcome. To our group the visual representation is by far the best asset can this can be the make or break outcome that can effectively visualize the folie with its connect to the site and its context.

Folie Experience

The experience will be shown through the use of CAD. The experience will need to utilize both text and photomontages in an effort to express the nature of the folie and its purpose and design context. This experience outcome links directly with the function and tectonic outcomes.

Preliminary Folie 

Concepts utilizing methods from the reading and tectonic and concept ideals. Simple forms and ideas are often the most powerful and can lead to aesthetic solutions.

To get some ideas about scale and possible folie designs; i went to lincraft and obtainted a number of stryofoam parts in order to create a experimental modeling session coming up with a couple solutions which I photographed above. Each experiment was based around the idea of capsules which higlight different 'views' of the city. This was a major highlight of the anaylsis partaken in the previous week.
