Inspired by "A Walk" by Rainer Maria Rilke
My eyes already touch the sunny hill.
going far ahead of the road I have begun.
So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp;
it has its inner light, even from a distance ~
and changes us, even if we do not reach it,
into something else, which, hardly sensing it,
we already are; a guesture waves us on
answering our own wave...
but what we feel is the wind in our faces.
Translated by Robert Bly
Linear interpretation: an event, to experience a purpose (vision) driven walk~
THE JETTY: RISE OF APOLLO
1. linear movement: in the move, a journey in progress,
2. forward direction: started from a point at the opposite end, towards another direction,
3. space-time progression: emotionally responding towards and interacting with the lateral "vision".
4. continuity, predictability, expectation, onward, positive and assurance.
Spatial characteristic:
Design to capitalised on natural site features with dramatic and powerful scenary.
1. open or semi enclosed, perforated planes
2. subject and object relationship, visually related/connected but physically detached
3. time, and event which has taken action but has not yet arrive at its finale: the end is not in sight.
It is a linear space, a visual driven typology.
Experience is focused on the "vision", which is regarded as something magical and powerful,
that he is overwhelmed. The "vision" is also responding to him and guiding him onward.
the object is the "vision", which is the main stimulation, it is meant to drive away his cares and worries, to take him out of himself.
In pursuant of a "vision", he need more continuity and predictability in his surrounding, but he also need enough "mystery" and "complexity" to keep him interest in looking around them.
On one hand this is exciting because it represents progress and a new phase in life. On the other hand it has constant flux, unpredictability and uncertainty.
Therefore, design emphasized the "main visual" axis, not to be overshadowed by the surrounding.
The sea offers s a stage of everchanging dynamic scene, the sound of waves, sea breeze, smell of sea water, reflective surface in respond to sunlight and sky changes, complementing the "journey"...
or ...
Circular interpretation: an event, to experience a purpose (vision) driven walk~
THE OCULUS
1. circular movement: in the move, a journey in progress,
2. upward direction: started from a point at a lower level, upwards to higher elevation,
3. space-time progression: emotionally responding towards and interacting with the vertical "vision".
4. continuity, predictability, expectation, onward, positive and assurance.
Spatial characteristic:
It is a centric space, a visual driven typology.
Experience is focused on the "vision", which is regarded as something magical and powerful,
that he is overwhelmed. The "vision" is also responding to him and guiding him onward.
the "vision" appears as a "blackhole" in the centre. It is flinged by curving verticle drop of massive waterfal, to a very deep void, too deep towards the center of the earth that it represents a "blackhole".
The "blackhole" is the "void" that is pending. The poet is working towards what he dreams of, however in view that the "vision" remains as something yet to be achieved, which has very strong influence, it is regarded as having strong magnetic field as a "blackhole".
The radial arrangement of the vertical fins supporting the stepping slabs emplified the centric force of the blackhole, besides providing indication of "openess" or opportunities towards the outer spaces. The highest point of the steping slab gives the most dramatic view towards the "blackhole", it provides the highest "enmeshed experience" to viewers.
Waterfal gives sound, water vapor, wetness and cooling effect.
Comment by Dr. Suchi:
the Jetty "Rise of Appolo" (Linear interpretation)
The Poet is "welcomed" and overwhelmed by the "vision" ahead. In order to express that, the tectonic planes should be arranged to show sense of progression such as:
1. increasing level of visual and physical permeability from "much obstructive" arrangement towards "less Obstructive" arrangement, as to showcase "sense of welcoming" from the opposite direction,
2. increasing level of light penetration via the fenestration provided on the tectonic planes, from the beginning towards the opposite end, from less penetration to wider opening,
3. decreasing sizes and measurement of the techtonic plane
there shouldn't be the same "ambiance" at both end, since he was changed by the phenomenon upon approaching the destination.
The experience at the begining shall not be the same when one approches onward, especially at the ending part, for he is changed, overwhelmed and motivated. The "opening" or path should be
getting wider or taller / or from obscure towards brightness, as he is getting closer to what he is looking for...
VISION is sybollically and literary addressed in the design. Other sensory response are supporting features that complement the experience.
