Latest process

Dear Hanee,
thanks for posting your latest results. If I get it right your theater will be able to behave in more than one specific layout. You can transform it into a variety of conditions. What is hard to read in your abstract sections is where the audience is supposed to be seated. Also what I´m interested is how you will adress the problem that the theater is a place with no daylight, versus the component system you are creating, which is more a filigree condition? Are those two conditions nested within each other? Does the density of your components vary?

Keep on going....I´m curious for your next steps..

Types of Theatre

Proscenium theatre is a theatre space whose primary feature is a large archway(the proscenium arch) at or near the front of the stage, through which the audience views the play. The audience directly faces the stage, which is typically raised several feet above front row audience level.
Thrust theatre similar to proscenium stages but with a platform or performance area that extends into the audience space so that the audience is located on three sides.
Theatre in the round: The stage is surrounded by audience on all sides.
Traverse Theatre: A style of theatre seating or performance where the audience is on either side of the performance, and the audience are facing one another
The black box theater (or experimental theatre) consisting of a simple, somewhat unadorned performence space, usually a large square room with black walls and a flat floor.
Sandwich theatre: in which the audience sit in front to each other and very close to stage
Studio Theatre: [Flexible, or Adaptable, Theatre] a theatre in which it is possible to stage a play in a variety of forms, with no single arrangement considered as permanent for audience and acting areas.
Intimate Theatre: A very small theatre in 'which audience members are physically close to the actors.

Progress

Hi Hanee..
so, how ist it going? Seems like you are making progress in the development of the components?
Did you make yourself a time schedule for the Thesis? Remeber to stick strictly to the time schedule
so you do not run into troubles, timewise, at the end of the work on the thesis. When will Sandra and I see
something about the allover design approach according to your timescheduke?
Keep us posted,
best,

Matias

Ok, Hani this is really worst grasshopper expriment :(

Coral Reef (Diagram+Analysis)

I was looking to coral reefs that how different species interact with them and different species started to live their for ever. It seems that it’s not only one sided interaction but a complete negotiation and this interaction started due to the attraction which corals provide them in terms of moving tentacles and colors. Tentacle size varies in different coral species. Coral reefs don’t have its own colors but it’s the algae which have different colors that house in between the two layers of skin. This algae has a symbiotic relation with corals, Algae absorbs the sun light do the photosynthesis for corals and produce 90% of energy (nutrients) for the corals. And this energy allows the two layers of skin to expand and contract causing the movement of tentacles (yes to catch food also and take to mouth the only opening in corals).
So as I am focusing on skin, that it not only separates the inside and outside of corals but have ornamental and textured qualities and above that the way it correspond to different conditions.

(i also have research on different things like types of corals, soft corals hards corals, which families they belong to, which temperature they live but focus only on those things which i need to move my project futher ahead, so i am just putting those things in blog that might be helpful for my project.)

So I was looking it in terms of event where corals are performers and attractors to different species.

Here than i was looking them in terms of components, that they need to be more dynamic and animated. Ok animted i mean here in terms of its quality of dynamic and it shows its moving but it static to its position...YUP.... but..but... lets see how things proceeds.... as i feel that i am still interested in animation in terms of motion :)

2 or 3 more diagrams in this series are to be made, hopefully they will come out from brain soon :)
but in the mean time i has started exploring components, as those diagrams will based on different component strategies and the final diagram would be the building program that these components will envolpe.

Progress

Thanks for showing your progress Hanee...
I see you are following your timeschedule. It´s OK if you collect things that you will need in the Blog.
Like basic Diagrams and Programs of other performing centers....just to learn how they work and what advantages and disadvantages they have....

Ok its too early to put these diagrams but just putting them for my own understanding so that when i'll come to this stage, i would make my own diagrams.

Time Line

Starting/ Initial Concept

I am looking into this picture not the way how they are fighting to each other but how they start to negotiate each other. And how they constantly observing the reaction to each other and constantly adjusting their action. And in this sense it kind of a negotiation and interaction rather than pre-defined behaviour.

And this kind of interaction is find in all levels, it happens in nature, it happens in insect, with birds.

Ref.http://www.iwamotoscott.com/

I was also looking this kind of interaction in Reef, where different species and reef make close negoiation with each other. And make some kind of symbiotic relationship with each other.
