Stowe at Canary Wharf

Pictureque, Stowe Buckinghamshire

The term "picturesque" needs to be explained in terms of its relationship to two other aesthetic ideals: those of the beautiful and the sublime. By the last third of the 18th century, Enlightenment rationalist ideas about aestheticism were being challenged by looking at the experiences of beauty and sublimity as being non-rational (instinctual). Aesthetic experience was not just a rational decision - one did not look at a pleasing curved form and decide it was beautiful - rather it was a matter of basic human instinct and came naturally. Edmund Burke in his 1756 Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and the Beautiful said the soft gentle curves appealed, he thought, to the male sexual desire, while the sublime horrors appealed to our desires for self-preservation.^[1] Picturesque arose as a mediator between the opposed ideals of beauty and the sublime, showing the possibilities that existed in between these two rationally idealized states. As Thomas Gray wrote in 1765 of the Scottish Highlands "The mountains are ecstatic.. None but.. God know how to join so much beauty with so much horror." ^[1]. See also Gilpin and the picturesque.

What and how i am going to do before the Crit

After the tutorial at report, I set up my drawing is part a space, so my drawing is a object, over the last couple week, although i have a idea about transparency and keep going the idea about how i laying my work due to the my conceptual at transparency, However i need a more physcial object which help me apply the idea and method at my project.

Therefore, I decided find a suitable site which construct my work to communicate the idea in architecturally, after my observation i use Canary Wharf as my site, because this area full of the building which has a strong identity of the transparency, wether the material, water, and modern media full of this area, it is much easier to approach the ideal in the reality object.

Over the last term and past couple week what i am done before i select some key word which remind me what i have done and what i am interesting , and what i am doing and have to do,

I am interesting in Transparency, so the it seem like "see through" some object, the method of my drawing which aim to "laying" the object find that" layer" due to the Canary Wharf full of the modern builing and appearance use the material such as glass present the perspective show the shadow overlap to each other, the water and glass reflect the environment, the build after the reflection into the other building and the distort the form of the architecture, in the other aspect the condition of the site has another limitation by the natural condition, such as water sunshine, such as when the moment sunshine lighting on the water reflect the light and reflecting the building at that moment the sunshine change the appearance of the architecture,

Turning to the Canary Wharf tube station observe the people movement , can divided in to vertical and horizon . if we see people as a part of condition of the environment , people take the elevator it is seems like a horizon floating , mobility , take flit is a vertical floating , after the moment of the change by the materiality distort the perspective due to the transparency material reflect the image on the other object.

Summary the project what i am done and what i am interesting, how i approach the idea about transparency and the method of drawing, i would like to apply both idea in the Canary Wharf evaluate my project as a concrete stage at moment.

How use technic apply my idea at transparency such as Google Earth

Canary Wharf in Google Earth

Well, living in Canary Wharf, I should have been the first to discuss about it, but once again, thank you to KZero for flagging this one :

The concept of re-creating real world places in virtual worlds has proved to be a popular way of encouraging and harvesting communities in Second Life. Although Google Earth isn’t a virtual world (yet) there’s already a high number of buildings available to view in 3D. The Google 3D warehouse is a repository of cities (and other items/objects) across the world starting to be modeled and available in Google Earth.Here’s some shots using the Canary Wharf area of London as an example.

Reconstruct the scenario of Canary Whalf

Due to the observation of my defined at transparency, it can be divided into two part, as follow as the definition of my conception at transparency, aim to illustrate there some space we cant see, and i try to approach the idea, which represent the imaginary of the transparency space, therefor i set up the Canary Whalf as my site, because this area full of the building which has a stronger identity of the material at the transparency, such as glass water and the matel and the media which offer the wonderful conditional to help me approach the idea apply in my project, it have to looking back and reconstructed the idea at the realistic way.

Thus i inspire by the site which help me pick up the work i done before, like reflection ,obscure the image ,and then it reorganise the idea and method of drawing . I seem my drawing as a part of spatial condition in the way my model as well, all of my work it doing the main idea it is laying, and then try to rebuild up the same scene in the other space, For example as you can see these pictures , i projecter the image and use the real water represent the really reflectin on the water use the 2 dimenation image bring the really light at the interior at bartlett school , show on the 3 dimenation space, as a consequence this phenomenon , I will keep this direction build up my project

Sarah Sze

Even the details in Sarah Sze’s sculptures have details. All her installations are extraordinarily ambitious and are constructed with fastidious precision, consequently, her output is relatively small compared with many other artists. Every thing in its right place, 2002–03, is one of her most important and most ambitious works. The apparently fragile but user-friendly beauty of Sze’s giant structure, its spectacular, spreading forms and its model-building virtuosity, while deeply attuned to the present, also has an integral relationship to the history of painting – in particular to Jackson Pollock’s Blue Poles: Number 11 1952, 1952, in the collection of the National Gallery of Australia, Canberra.

Sze’s model-making methodology is both practical and structural. She makes sections in her studio, combines prefabricated parts on-site according to exact specifications, and supplements these with elements sourced on location, like a film director looking for props. Her works are carefully crated, tagged and marked for reassembly.

The multitude of small parts in Sze’s Every thing in its right place shifts us away from a panoramic spectatorship to inspection mode. The site-specificity of Sarah Sze’s work is best understood through the idea of environments created by overarching structures of collection and models, where narratives and nostalgias intersect as property and space, affecting us through the flickering effect of their soaring elegance and beaut
