ArcAngel Dolphins
by Sam
These were recorded on a week’s sail from Falmouth in Cornwall to Milford Haven, Wales, via the Isles of Scilly, Padstow and Lundy. We were sailing northward about 5 miles off Lundy Island, spinnaker up under a southerly wind and making about 10 knots. A pod of about twenty dolphins came from all around and lined up to play on our bow wave for fifteen minutes or so. Five grown men were reduced to excited little boys. The minute we […]

Soane Museum: Real and Percieved Space
by Sam
A conversion of the isovist-agent software into c++ has led to a number of performance improvements. As a result new complexities of isovist analysis can be calculated and recorded in realtime. This includes reflection and projection of spatial depth; ie mirror and glazing surfaces, as well as barriers and mobile elements. A plan of the Soane Museum in London is being used as a test analysis for the system. These images illustrate different ‘spectral’ recordings of the spatial depths perceived […]

Reflections and spatial fields in the Soane Museum
by Sam
The below diagrams are a taxonomic series in which we apply the methods described here and the spatial classifications described here to a plan analysis of Sir John Soane’s Museum. Interpretation of these results is ongoing and discursive annotations will be added in due course. The mappings above were produced using a methodology established in the context of a research project on Dynamic Three Dimensional Space Syntax Modelling directed by Sophia Psarra at UCL. The project was supported by the […]

Pop Up Library
by Sam
Concept design for a ‘pop-up’ local library box to be installed in disused retail units. Rather than simply focussing on the materiel of books, the solution targets programmatic affordance, with projective and interactive surfaces, acoustic treatments that double as re-configurable seating seating and high density book storage and ‘vending’.
