conceptual development.

CONCEPT: 
Our group decided to relate our folie to a prevalent issue in today's society: with the increasing popularity of online social media networks, people are becoming more and more self focused and absorbed, making a big deal of the small things and a small deal of the bigger issues that are occurring in the real world. The aim of our folie, therefore, is to serve as a reminder, or 'reality check' that this is not a healthy mindset to have, and that we, as individuals, are not the centre of the universe.

highlighting one piece in many; symbol of the user.


digital projections on the ceiling of the structure.



solid-void theory: spaces shaped by solid objects are as important as the objects themselves.
series of cubes constructed of concrete to create a very dense, heavy environment.
using the physical context (cliff face) as an element of 'intimidation' where the user is made aware of scale and proportions
