Visual Recollection - Barceloneta
Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain - Summer 2014. Study Abroad Semester.
Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts.
A neighborhood scale performing center that primarily hosts the activities of the local Castellers teams. A training and performance space, as well as a place for other neighborhood activities and local events to happen. I am calling my experience and perception of the Barceloneta neighborhood “Visual Recollection.” By mapping the edge conditions of the site, and assigning them a 3D frequency, I sew them together as the transliteration of these visual cues.
“Visual Recollection” talks about the identified frequencies and their aggregation onto the specific location, processed as the derived psychological impact of visual recall. This is a strategy based on the senses, with an artistic representation of architecture as it also serves as an representation of the physical movement from the Castellers tectonically.
