Soluna site atmosphere presentation


 Above is a submission I handed in as part of my design project. This movie aimed to present the atmopshere of my festival site, conveying the key principles and visitor experience. 

I felt it was not important to include all of the site bases, background inspiration, logo development etc. as these have all been mentioned in my A3 portfolio document that would be handed to a client alongside this. Instead I felt it was important to convey what written words cannot - true emotion.

PWP Landscape Architecture - TANNER FOUNTAIN, HARVARD UNIVERSITY

  This water feature really captured my interest as I have never seen a water feature that appears so fog-like. It really creates a surreal atmosphere.  “For three seasons of the year the nozzles emit a dematerializing mist while in winter steam from the university heating plant creates a fog around the fountain. ”   (PWP, n.d.) This therefore makes the space able to be used throughout the seasons. In the summer months the mist will have a cooling effect on anyone that sits close by and in the winter the steam from the heating plant will warm the surrounding area very slightly.

This is something I need to consider, that not every water feature needs to look the same and that the entire feel of a place can be altered by granite rocks and a mist attach...

  I chose to look at the designer Kim Wilkie because I was fascinated by the strong use of mathematical symbols and geometry in this garden. This is not how I personally choose to approach design. However, I am drawn in by the meaning behind his design choices. For example, the inverted pyramid “Orpheus” that descends 7m below the surrounding grass was built to reflect the raised mound next to it “Mount Olympus”. People can walk down this pyramid and look into the shallow pool at the bottom that reflects the sky above. I have recently learnt about labyrinths and their use for promoting peace and reflection, although this isn’t a labyrinth, I’m sure it has a similar effect. Wilkie named this inverted pyramid after a famous musician in Greek mythology, who when his wife died, he went into the underworld to try to reclaim her. Hades found his music so beautiful that he returned Orpheus’ wife to the world of the living. (Boughton House, 2022). Deep meaning like this is something I...
