In this research
project, a design based project with the tittle of " Illusion in Architecture" will express in art installation format to
prove that implement of illusion in architecture very beneficial in user experience
for example :
- illusion manipulated our perception which give us different experience in a space,
- illusion help in make building design unique and more memorable,
- illusion in architecture also creating a sense of excitement to the space.
This installation wiill take place at KBU International College, White canvas area. The installation will try to integrate with the existing structure of the site for example the column and the staircase there.
Figure bellow have indicate the different position we stand and the view that we see in certain point. The purple spot shown where the 3 entrance door of KBU College, all door have the same width to access but from the observation, we find out that student are more tend to use the left and middle entrance compare to the right entrance. This maybe because of the left entrance was the first entrance which more nearer and convenient to access the business school of KBU College. Where the middle door is more often access by design school student.
The orange colour spot shown the few step toward from the entrance ( the square lighten tile colour area).
Because the illusion installation that i plan to create is only can view in certain point, therefore i need to pick and fix a point for the following progress. There is one question in my mind :
The view point that i going to choose should be the middle door that people often access or to choose the right entrance door tat less people using so that i can prove after the illusion installation able to get attention by people have and changing the habit of occupant to access the right entrance.
It is good that you have decided on a site for your installation. I would recommend the main entrance as this is where the majority of users will come from. If you want your installation to change their behaviour and their habit, do it AFTER they have seen the installation; i.e. once they are in or seen the installation, you can have them interact with the space differently such as moving in different directions. Your next step is to do a mock up of the installation as well as a photo montage to see how the illusion will look and to determine whether it will work; especially if you are dealing with false perspectives. I hope you can do that ASAP to determine whether the illusion can be realised and also to get permission to set up your installation.
