With my storycube, I wanted to examine proportion and repetition, often seen in subtle, mundane ways, and in turn exploring their connection to the UW campus. Medieval cathedrals were built by architects whose designs conformed to the proportional system of musical harmony, “There must be no decorations, only proportion”.
And although there are no choirs performed at most buildings located on the main campus, that idea of proportion, minus the musical harmony, is still evident throughout modern architecture. To make it simple with the breakdown of my pictures, I used the Arts Lecture Hall, Biology 1, Davis Center, Physics, and 2 from Math and Computers. Each one looks at repetition, proportion, and symmetry in those building while also lacking the essential human element.
