La Villette field work approach

I want to approach this field trip by creating a moldboard of the architecture. I want to really explore the essence of the building and what its made of. I am inspired by a short film I had done at the Centre National de Danse where we represented the building through its textures (it used to be a police station) :

  • Capture textures through zoomed photography and paper tracing
  • Capture the movement flow through pictures of entries, doorways and halls. Also use public plans or aerial pictures if available.
  • Capture the sense of space by measuring the dimensions of the spaces (maybe find public plans or use the walking / step / feet method).
  • Capture the colors though photography and then generating a color palette with photoshop.
  • Capture the sounds through recordings and sounds of steps interacting against different materials and rooms available in the building. BUT only using the step and the foot not any outside instrument to create sound.

Materials I need to bring with me : Camera, SD card, iPhone (with wide angle), selfie stick, white paper, pencils.
