Book Description
Has your world been turned upside-down at some point? Please take a look at the innovative and creative ideas in this article. What do you see? What ideas do you have? What would it be if I asked you to develop a unique idea or concept for a spatial design? How can Māori shapes, forms, patterns and colours be embedded in a spatial design? That is the question teachers of Design and Visual Communication (DVC) will ask their students next year (2024). Why? Because they will be doing a new curriculum in New Zealand (High School context). Designers, architects, artists, teachers, and students will benefit from this article. Please take a look at the CAMERA OBSCURA, created by three different people - a photographer, a sculptor, and an architect. I include a picture of this outstanding creative effort by three artists in New Zealand. Don't miss this brilliant design. To whet your appetite - about the CAMERA OBSURA. The Whangārei Camera Obscura is an interactive sculpture on the Hātea Loop walk (Whangarei - New Zealand). A camera obscura is a darkened room with a small hole or lens at one side through which an image is projected onto a wall or table opposite the hole. Visitors can enter the shell-like structure to find a surprising "upside-down projection room" inside showing the celebrated Bascule bridge, Te Matau ā Pohe and its surroundings, complete with vehicles, boats, people, scudding clouds and flowing water. The attraction offers visitors and residents simple yet wonderful phenomena of light projection and educational opportunities. Visitors can adjust the image using a movable aperture on the wall of the camera obscura. It is one of only a handful of obscura sculptures worldwide and is among the largest.
