Assignment: Case Study #10_Villa Mairea_Alvar Aalto
In cooperation with Astrid Ildor
SEARCH. Investigating
the meeting of two different openings and the interaction in between and unfolding
the relationship between modes of expression in order to achieve a new
understanding.
Experiment 01
Experiment 02
EXPERIMENTATION. In the search of understanding the relationship between the two openings the connecting aspect, light, was transformed into the tangible element of acetone. Used on two different surfaces - glass (Experiment 01) and foam (Experiment 02) - resulting in different consequences by meeting and interacting. By letting acetone meet glass a small, temporarily interaction is observed blurring the sight before separating as independent elements. In the meeting of acetone and foam the two elements merge and transform revealing a new expression.

CONNECTION. The meeting must be seen as reinforcing in consideration of the expression
of the two different openings. Openings that are dependent of each other to
create and express this complex narrative and under- standing and maintain a
constant tension drawing the observer to investigate and start questioning.
