So looking at my main ideas from the folie to the bar i come up with a list of ideas i want to transfer...The first is Safety...and instead of the literal translation the folie offered...im going for a more abstract idea.. Safety in numbers, and as the club is going to be designed for a small crowd, im going with holographic projections on the dance floor...the overall idea of the club is to manipulate peoples perceptions of space and time...To change their reality. So im recording and re-broadcasting holographic projections of people as a way to make the space busy and full regardless of the numbers and also to manipulate the images into more static or dynamic influences on the space depending on the moment...
This manipulation hopefully, when taken to the extreme, have the opposite effect of a sensory deprivation tank...Saturation of the senses.
To add to the visual manipulation i want to create a sound scape, one fueled by live recordings of the city around...Sound pumped into the space around the users...
The other ideas were related to manipulation of the scenses but none more so then the building itself. I started looking at the building as a "hanging" structure, intimidating to the pedestrians below..and slowly worked at the form...
From the curvaliner form on the left to the more angular ones on the right, but nothing felt right...Then i thought of the link between what is above and below my folie, and how the relationship is the most important shaper of the space, and how this relationship, could help form the shape of my building, what is above, is below...
So i looked at the form, and using the form as a visual link, one based on sound waves and water movement...
