A Day in the Wastes


















To create a new perspective for the makeshift shelter It was important to not only illustrate the interior but its interiority as well. The shelter does not necessarily need four walls, interiority is created with a strong structure, elements that define personal space as well as a healthy roof over-hang. This perspective illustrates the 3 zones of personal space. Because the bar/counter separates the two people they are comfortable with the proximity they have to each-other. The back wall and the roof over-hang next to them is just enough to imply that they are inside. The viewer stands in the third zone. This zone is defined by the ending of the counter and the wall behind the viewer. Interiority is also created in the psychological and physical need to have a strong structure. The walls of the shelter are made of pallets, which have two distinct design qualities: They are secure and stable while translucent- allowing light and glimpses of the exterior to “leak” into the interior. The horizontality of the slats also expand the perception of space.

For fun I also decided to loosely continue the characters from the original narrative perspective. The narrative perspective can be thought of as the structure during a fall/winter setting while this perspective depicts the shelter opened up during a spring/summer setting.
