Abstract Details

2000, MDes, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning : Design.
The intention of this project is to create a virtual, 3-Dimensional environment representative of Peter Eisenman's Aronoff Center for Art and Design, which houses the Colleges of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning at the University of Cincinnati. Architectural drawings and photographs of the building cannot describe the space of the building. Rather, they can only depict the building's form. A 3D model of the building would be useful in that it could convey more depth to the viewer. The final multimedia piece will be used to introduce prospective and new students to the building's layout, provide a detailed overview of the building and the theories behind its creation, and allow people who do not live in Cincinnati to experience some aspects of the building's form. According to Eisenman, architecture has left the "mechanical paradigm" of physical structure for the "electronic paradigm" of the information superhighway and the "virtual reality headset. Virtual reality is a new possibility for reality," he says. "Actual places" will be supplanted by a "place of communication."1 This project hopes to achieve some similarities to virtual reality, or the feeling of emotionally being somewhere while not physically being there.
