DSL 이성진, 이현희, 손심열 연구원이 영국 왕립건축가협회(RIBA)가 West Fraser SterlingOSB와 함께 주최한 Powers of Ten 국제공모전에 출품하여 입선하는 성과를 거두었습니다.
이번 공모전은 찰스와 레이 임스 부부의 1977년 영화 Powers of Ten에서 영감을 받아, 스케일의 본질을 탐구하고 이를 활용한 창의적인 디자인을 공모한 국제적인 행사입니다. 영화가 보여준 거시적 우주에서 미시적 세계로 이어지는 시선의 전환처럼, 규모와 비율의 전환을 통해 관람객에게 흥미를 유발하거나 즐겁게 하거나, 때로는 당혹스러운 체험을 제공하는 아이디어를 제안해야 했습니다.
Play with Scale: The Ames Matrix – Dae Song Lee, Sung Jin Lee, Hyun Hee Lee, Xin Yue Sun
his entry was among several inspired by the Ames Room, a concept for perceptual distortion achieved by intentionally sloping the floor, ceiling and walls to create optical illusions.
Judges felt that Play with Scale: The Ames Matrix took this concept the furthest. Rather than present a single room with a single-view illusion, it uses a grid of SterlingOSB Zero panels to create eight interconnected rooms as a “walkable, inhabitable system of distortions”. Images showing people moving through the warped geometry are live-streamed on monitors in a central courtyard.
“The medium is not software but architecture itself – an analogue distortion that engages the viewer more intimately and unpredictably than digital trickery could,” say the designers, adding that it aims to use distortion “to question authority of perspective and assumptions embedded in architectural order”.
