Explanation of key terms used in this project.
- Frame: This assignment is built around a series of frames. A frame
is something that is used to define a view of another thing.
- Sequence: Each of these frames contains meaning of its own however,
when they are organised into a specific order, they also begin to
define new interpretations of the other frames in the sequence. In
this way they begin to frame and reframe each other.
- Layer: This sequence of frames creates reference points between
the individual frames. Where this cross-referencing occurs, these
frames become layered.
- Experience: The purpose of these frames, sequences and layers is
for them to be interpreted by the patrons of your design. This interpretation
through our sensory perception is experience.
- Event: When aspects of these frames, sequences and layers are perceived,
they event themselves. If a patron does not perceive them then there
is no event for that patron.
- Program: It is through the design of these events with an attention
to the nature of your patrons that you can use the design of your
frames, sequences and layers to begin to direct the experience of
the patrons of your design. The act of considering these events creates
programs for your design.If you wish to read more deeply on the topic
of these ideas refer to:
Tschumi, Bernard. “Illustrated index: themes from the manhattan transcripts”in
AA files, 1983 July., v.20, n.1, p.40-52
- Limits: Limits, like frames, are a thing that defines another thing.
This design is structured around various limits. The exploration and
redefinition of these limits also allows you to redefine the centre.
