Deconstructing a 3D object

Decopmosing objects 3D to 2D

Deconstructing Consumption

An Attempt to deconstruct the spatial make up of the mall to reveal a more "open" interesting space.

Consumerist Characteristics of Style

Stylistically speaking, the minimalist approach reveals shopping and consumption habits by exposing the context through an act, a one thing, that through a cultures shared and collective experience, finally reveals that context and perhaps the ramifications of that context.  A postmodern box reveals the context and again, perhaps the ramifications, through a more explicit and sometimes ironic way.  The signifying elements of both of theses styles could not be further apart in their proliferation by marketers and advertisers and developers.  Indeed postmodern consumption and our cultures lack of meaningful signifiers reval the shallow meaning and relationship we have with our products.  Our new cultural signifiers have become the objects that we posses and our measure is how many and what type we have.

Characteristics of Style - Minimalist

The minimalist box reveals the structure through our high content knowledge.  That common cultural knowledge of our everyday experiences of that box tells us that the configuration of these lines forms a 3 dimensional object; a box.

The unbelievably large question of urabnity was a starting point in this search for a speculative proposal.  The original brain storming of this conundrum through the matrix subject-cause-effect and finally revealed through the colour diagramming that a truly hybrid notion of artistic - philosophic and scientific concerns developed through consumption patterns, consumption spaces and the urban environmental pleasure.  It is here that further research will be developed towards our consumption patterns and what it means to the urabn enivonment.
