Architecture In Motion

Called 'Ascension' this is a study of the main stairwell of the Red Center. The idea came from the fact that I spend so much time running up and down those stairs and that, with any journey, you rarely make it to point A to point B without a few detours.

Atlas of Color was incredibly work intensive but I highly enjoyed the projects. I find in most of our courses to date we have used primarily black and white; however, I feel color is so important and it was good to scratch the surface of color theory and how we can use color for ultimate effect.

My atlas was based on the precedent book Jean Nouvel: The Elements of Architecture and I used a split complimentary color scheme of blue with yellow/orange and red/orange. The tunnel book was based on a cafe near my apartment whose color scheme just happened to match that I wanted to pursue in my atlas.
