Architectural Framework
Paddington Reservoir – the viewers ‘perception’
Paddington Reservoir could be seen as an artwork or sculptural element. The way you move through the space is similar to a gallery, but the artwork is the building itself. The building slowly reveals layers of its history, and character through the materiality and connections with the old and new.
Through peoples own life experiences and views, they create a more deep and personal perception of the space, as with artworks. With no personal view or perception of the artwork or space you are unable to make judgement or comments.
World view of architecture
After reflecting on the three projects presented, a common thread can be seen which reflects my personal view of architecture. Paddington Reservoir, Spanish Step and The Farnsworth House have strong connections with the environment and their surroundings. Not only can they be viewed as architectural elements but as sculptural artworks within the landscape. The three projects all have a sculptural element, the way people come to view them, walk through the spaces, stop and sit on the steps, touch and interact with the artworks. Not only connections with the environment they then create very personal connections/ memories with the viewer.
