This week in The Making of Architecture, our professor discussed Frank Gehry's Experience Music Project. We saw an interior image of metal shingles that were different colors. They were made by dipping the tiles in a chemical solution that caused a chemical reaction. The longer that the tiles sit in the solution, the more drastic the color change. This is what inspired my partner and I for the wall sculpture. Our study model was due this Friday, and we decided to use plexiglass and water bottles to create a "floating sculpture". We also decided to tint the water bottles so that they are colored, but not opaque. The colors are going to reflect the temperatures, so as the temperature gets warmer, the color will be tinted red and as the temperature gets colder, the color will be tinted blue.
