Hey Lemo,
Here we go, now you came up with just another idea.
You listed up some very imposing installations in the form of mazes in you mood-board: These examples are quite developed, there are clear decisions on materials, for example using glass for dividing walls. The installations refer to several experiences one can make in it. And a maze has got a higher meaning by itself of cause.
I really like your idea of walking through kind of a passage (but its just something else than a maze) and discover something, i guess it will technically work well, BUT have you ever checked the prices for electronic glass?
By the way, do you know this one: http://www.urdesign.it/index.php/2014/07/09/giant-maze-by-big-architects-opens-at-the-national-building-museum/
What do you think :) ?

I think, this will be my last approach to manage the task ;D You´re right, that a maze is something else than my proposal, but it was my inspiration to the walk like a discovering passage through a story. Working with electronic glass would be the Rolls Royce solutution, I know, so I will try to show a prototype of passage with less expensive materials and light/sound, the FIAT 500 -STORYLINE WALK ;)) Yes, I know the maze, you refering to: After submitting this idea, I received my monthly "Architektenblatt" and it´s on page 2 and made me smile. Next step: I will design a feasible prototype...
Hey Lemo,
The FIAT 500 STORYLINE WALK?? Thats sounds interesting, but i could't find it! Can you tell me a bit more about that or do you have a LINK ?
Great that you're start building prototypes and paper models - I hope not 1:1 haha !
Keep going on, I'm curios about your process and don't hesitate to ask any questions!
Best, David
It seems, that you got lost in my maze of thinking ;D With the "FIAT 500-Storyline walk" I mean a less expensive prototyp, not using electronic glass, the "Rolls Royce" version, ....a little wordplay of mine...;))
Wonderful idea, lemo!! I like the concept of walking through the story... Not sure if a real maze is the right way (do I really like to go through a maze while experiencing the story of a book?) but as far as I understood your idea you're not proposing a maze but rather a maze-like concept... right?
You got it right, it´s a maze inspired walk ;) There will be no wrong track, but one will see the walk not totally, but step by step, like reading in a book. Fine to hear, that you like the concept.
Hey Lemo,
well yes :) Sorry, I didn't get your joke …
As an architect, can you imagine to sketch out kind of connected passages that not only works as "walkable story" but also/ rather tells a higher meaning on the one hand and on the other to provide a structure for presenting objects and contents anyway!
Best, David
Hey Lemo,
Thanks for uploading your new sketches and also the paper models (Is that the Fiat 500? :)) !
This makes your idea much more understandable and is a big step forward from your first mood-boards!
Your new "passage" on the first page looks a bit confusing and unclear cause of lots of different images about each other.
Keep going on, I'm curious about your project!
Best, David
Oh great, to get this wonderful compliment, that motivates a lot for a last update!
Dear Lemo,
I like the basic idea that lays underneath your project here. But I have some issues with it too and I want to share them with you. First of all the structure itself seems so limited and narrow - why not broaden it up for stores or larger stands at fairs? Secondly I wonder how you want to adress the story to the viewer if he still wants to read the book? If you sent the people right through the story they want to read afterwards you need to be careful not to bring up too many spoilers. Third, I think, is the close distance from viewer to light-source. I get confused in the morning when cars with bright lights approach, so how do you cope with that while you still want the people to have the theatric feeling of a stage-like world they entered? Taking the cuboids into account I really dig your idea of activating them by stepping onto them - but how will the projection process work? Is there a projector for every cuboid or does one projector do the work of one plot?
Looking forward to your answers! :-)
Big thanx, Raiko, to your detailed comment and issues, I see, you understand my idea in detail! That´s good to see... All the issues you have, concerning the execution of the idea, when built, so the last step, imo 1. The structure is narrow, that´s one design element of my idea as a "passage". But this can be easily changed, if wanted... 2. Of course, the "passage" through the book should be only "amuse gueul" for reading the book and should not offer to much of the story- another point of final execution... 3. The light is not a sudden spot, but increases to enlight the cuboid 4. The projection of cuboid is a technical detail, I have the imagination, that the projector work for up to 3 cuboids, but this depends on the final place and line of walk... I hope, i could answer your questions satisfying ;), but please ask, if there a new upcoming questions, because without, i can´t improve ;)
Thanx a lot, salabaozi and Wasaki, for the big support! Very important for me ;o))
