- Sound and Space WorkshopThe culmination of the IMIAD Program was a two week workshop for the students from all six countries. We were divided into groups of roughly ten, and given a space and a movie. As a group, we had to come up with a way to recreate the atmosphere of the movie into the given space. My group's movie was The Element of Crime, by Lars von Trier. A dystopian, dangerous film, The Element of Crime is filled with anxiety and suspense. Our space was an old macello, or slaughterhouse, and it retained the uncomfortable atmosphere of its former life. We recreated the atmosphere of the movie by thrusting the viewer into a towering black space from the bright Swiss sunlight outside, and making them immediately walk across a surprisingly bumpy terrain covered by a reflective tarp. The tarp emulated water and was accented by a dripping sound echoing around the room. Once the viewer arrived at the glowing structure, they moved around the back to see a green light reflected in a mirror. A green light was used in the movie as the only point of truth and we used it as the culmination of our experience.
- Lighting WorkshopOne component of my semester in Stuttgart through the IMIAD Program was to participate in a two-week long lighting studio. As a group of eleven, we designed an ethereal cloud shape in front of the wall of windows, and a translucent forest behind. We used baking paper to create the thousands of components forming the cloud as well as birds flying through the forest. Sheer panels created the forest. Trembling mirrors threw light into the forest and coloured LEDs illuminated the whole store front.
- Tree HouseThrough the IMIAD program I spent a semester in Stuttgart, Germany. In studio we focused on sound and space in design. My brief was to design a hospitality venue with three different sound spaces. I took inspiration from the tree house I had as a child, and divided a bar and restaurant establishment into three distinct atmospheres. The basement, or roots, housed the kitchens and toilets, the bar was on the ground floor amongst the trunk, and the restaurant was nestled up in the branches of the tree.
