Rendering, 2012
With the idea of critically approach the program of “Parques Biblioteca”, a major plan for urban developments in the city of Medellin that had the purpose to change the image of the city through a series “cover buildings” meant to be public libraries, the work titled Rendering also addressed the problem of the new representation systems in architectural projects; in particular, the 3D modelling and the render technics. The work is an installation that features an illusion of three 3D irregular polyhedrons projected on a screen wall. The shapes are taken from the three buildings that conform “Parque Biblioteca Los Reyes de España”, maybe the most iconic buildings of the urban renovation of Medellin. Nevertheless, both the volumes and the projection itself are fake, as there were any projector working in the space, but an accurate arrangement of three spot lights illuminating three iron structures with mirrors affixed to them, which created the whole effect by way of an optical play of light reflections. |
