HIDDEN DESIGN

INSPIRED BY POEMDEVIL MAY CARE, JOSEPH A. WRAITH

DEVIL MAY CAREA poem of childhood dreams

As a child I remember well

this strange moment I will tell

Put to sleep on an early night

I awoke somewhat startled

by this curious light

I could hear his breathing

As he grabbed my hand

And told me he is taking me

To another land

And as I ride upon the Devils wing

An evil spark, a hint of sting

The smell of sulfur is in the air

As I fly about without a care

I feel the heat from his vaporous breath

As he laughs a laugh of certain death

I dont fear this thing, this soulless beast, no spirit inside, no heart that beats.

As he glides slowly over ash and fire

His demons they scream in a horrific choir

Raising their voices above the din

And feeding on souls in sin

I ride about this hellish tour

Still believing my soul is pure

He grins at me and points ahead

To lay me back down back in my bed

And with a whisper he is gone

And I fall back asleep until the dawn

What makes it real and explains somethings is that he left me with my own

little wings

Create a space to attract the attention

of the user. Lure the user to try the

space.

A different place. Somewhere to

unwind and perhaps escape the

mundane routine of life.

Freedom to choose which path thatwould be embarked by the user.

INSPIRATION / INTERPRETATION CONCEPT

The idea is to create a structure which provides the user with a choice

and at the end have a self reflecting space for him to reflect on his

previous actions and choicesand also provide him with a quite space

to come out with an idea of which choice to make in the future.

To get to this space the user basically has to first make a choice of

which tunnel to take which would lead him to the core, the self

reflecting room. The 2 choices that would be of choice to the user is

either the dimly lit tunnel or the bright tunnel. Both tunnels are

actually obstacles

JOURNEY OF THE SENSES

SIGHTIn the dark tunnel the users sense of sight is challenged

due to the lack of light with the structure. The user will

experience momentary blindness as the eyes takes

time to adjust to the diminished light. With only the dimband of light by the walls and the hanging light bulb at the

end of the corridor guiding the user.

TOUCHHaving the most important sense of the sight

compromised, the user is expected to use his next most

promising sense which is touch.

The walls made of textured concrete would act as a guide

leading the user to the destination.

INSPIRATION / INTERPRETATION

A form of lure that attracts the

user to approach it

Experience different spaces.

The hardship and pain to obtain a

goal.

Perseverance

CONCEPT

INSPIRED BY POEMDEVIL MAY CARE, JOSEPH A. WRAITH

The main idea behind the design of the structure is the idea of staying

true to the things that makes you who you are. The reward at the endmay not of the material sort but the satisfaction of not giving up due to

hardships that one will endure and also the liberating feeling at the end

knowing that one did things the right way.

This journey engages all the senses of a human being be it physical or

emotional. Incorporated with existing landscape that is already present

on site, the first half of the journey is meant to put the endurance of

one to the test. After the hardship one will slowly see that darkness

does not last forever and theres always a rainbow after the rain.

JOURNEY OF THE SENSES

SoundDuring the hike within the cave, the user is drawn to the sound of the

waterfallcrashing onto the tunnel at the end. This would be the subject

that lures the user to journey till the end as he will becuriousas towhere the sound comes from.

Sight

The journey within the cave would be a rather hard one as the amountof light that the space receives would not be like a brightly lit room.

With their sense of sight compromisedthe user will immediately

be drawn to move to the light at the other end of the cave.

TouchThe user will have to also depend very much on their sense of touch, as they

will not be able to see very well in the dark. They would grip or feel

the sides of the cave walls or the ground for any slopes or bumps to avoidfalling over.

FeelWithin the cave

The user will feel as if he is in a very dangerous situation. Having to depend

a lot on his sense of hearing and touchingto guide him to safety willmost certainly make the user feel

unease and threatened. We are always afraid of the things we

cannot see.

Exiting the cave

The user will feel so much more liberated and finally secure because hecan finally depend on his sight again.

Travelling in the tunnel

The tunnel consists of 4 parts:

1. Entirely opaquethe user will be exposed to more light but will

still be restricted of view and would not be able to tell where he isat. The height the tunnel which would be taller then the user will make

him fell slightly diminished.

2. Floor piece is transparent- the user will finally be able to tell where

he is. However he may be having mixed feelings as to whether likethe place he is at or to feel insecure. The height of the tunnel starts to

lessen.

3. Roof piece is transparent - the user will have a view of the skies

above. The height of the tunnel will also start to lessen to better suitthe human height

4. Wall are transparent at this stage the user would have already been

at ease to the location he is at and would begin to appreciate

the views.5. All four walls are transparentthe last stage of the journey takes the

user into a waterfall where he can feel as if he is being purified bythe water.Water here also symbolizes the purity and innocence of the

user which a symbolic reward for his accomplishment .
