Experiment 2: Week One- Crysis Wars Environment

"Dreams are a way of exploring the unconscious"

This amalgamation of five rectangular prisms reflects the hypothesis of Sigmund Freud. As a piece of architecture that explored the unconscious mind I thought of firstly a large shape, this could be the place the occupant spends most of their day becoming the conscious space where they move and think. The four prisms however climbing well above the base prism are places of sleep and relaxation. This is where the occupant dreams as they are not aware of their time and occurrence. The space in between, cast in shadows represents this dreamy cave where they can explore their ‘unconscious mind’. The entire structure slits into the side of my terrain giving a very warm and enclosed experience. Accessed from the top, the progression down each level is also reflective of the exploration of the unconscious mind. As the occupant walks, the structure that first appears warm and dark opens into a very conscious space that cantilevers over the water.
