150 word task

The 150 word task is based on this image below located on page 17 of the Masters Thesis in Architecture provided in Lecture 7.





The concept for my Unreal Exp 2 environment is based on the relationship between balance and gravity, 2 ideas inspired from the quotes of Keith Campbell and Jacques Cousteau. The image I have chosen from the lecture 7 Masters Thesis project provides an effective visual representation of this concept. In the image above the transparent globe sitting on top of the stair roofing is seemingly defying gravity by balancing on the edge of a stair ledge.

The concept which I am attempting to convey within the Unreal model formation on the outside of the cliff face is this same idea of solid objects balancing in completely impossible and irrational arrangements.

The second transparent ball in the image above appears to be encased in a square box. The box is located in a chamber like room below ground level. It almost seems like the weight of the ball has caused this downward push.

The concept which I am attempting to convey with the Unreal model formation within the cliff face explores a similar idea that the weight of gravity has the ability and power to push an object downward toward the earth.
