Resor House Collage, Mies van der Rohe. 1939
Resor House, digital reconstruction. Movement in a fixated field.
Resor House, digital panorama. Exterior views manifest a surface caught between image and boundary.
reimaging Mies's unrealized Resor House through a new surface typology, the Ergovisual. Literally meaning, a kind of visual working through of space according to natural laws of perception. The project takes ergonomics as a point of departure. It takes liberty, however, to invert this idea--introducing a surface that challenges our conventional means of experiencing space, suggesting alternative inhabitations and relationships between interior and exterior, depth and shallowness, surface and image.

yay! i'm so glad people are posting thesis stuff! (can you believe the blog is almost three years old?!)
that said...i'm a fan of the renderings. can't wait to see the rest. what is your next step?
wow. does it have a birthday? this summer? we should have a date if we don't yet.
thanks, peepers. i had a terrible review recently then shacked out in studio and figured this line of action out. he called today's work 'fabulous'. phew.
this is just one 'case study' among three i plan to construct (the others are the Eames House and Superstudio's Supersurface, or the Happy Island collage). I'm also testing the 'renders' in very specific ways, after recently discovering Alfred Yarburg's exahustive/comprehensive study of eye movments/vision (http://wexler.free.fr/library/files/yarbus%20(1967)%20eye%20movements%20and%20vision.pdf). The one all-grey render is testing a kind of movement toward a specific focal point. I am doing others that represent a kind of 'drifting' vision, or jumping from one pont to another.
I also have material tests to cover (thickening/thinning of the surface, mirroring, etc). There is much to do!
love your progress!
