Collage Elements

Was looking for the images i could use for my memorial piles.

Fun photos of both Montjuic and Igualada cemetery right at the beginning.

This is my story.... Hope you can see it

I reworked the organization of my
Presentation so that it tells the story of my journey through this project.

Stumbling!!!

The Los Angles Holocaust Museum

Something that reminded me of the cemetery (the original) and my own creation. 

TREES!!!!

Picking trees are harder than i thought.

I like the cherry tree  because it has a stringy feel to it. Its branches when in bloom cast a large singular shadow that rotates through the day but when it is not in bloom the branches individually cast shadows zigzagging across the paths and criss crossing back and forth altering. I like this tree not only because of the shadows it cast but its mean to death.

Cherry (Sakura)

Represents the Japanese idea of �The Perfect Death�. Also perfection of virtue and existence.

The other tree is  the Montezuma Bald Cypress tree. I like this tree a lot but it grows differently in the north than it does in the south, where i first saw it. This tree will turn deciduous and changes its form minimally when it  comes to the north. basically there becomes less hang to it. I liked this tree because of its resemblance to the weeping willow except with this tree doesn't have an overwhelming amount of hang.... therefor grouping there wouldn't become difficult. i am working on find another tree to replace this one one that with grow a little taller than the cherry and have a hang to its branch.  I liked this tree because the trunk is love giving space to walk and the branches weep a little for privace and then they are very full for nice shadow. and taller than  they are wide!!!

The other tree i have considered is the turkey oak unfortunately it just doesn't do it for me the search continues. I have been searching for trees associated with death trying to find ones that fit the regiment

Materials on the site

I have taken the materials ( most from the existing site ) and collaged them in the arrangement I have previously designed. Through this I understood that A. I needed to fix some awkward things that happen B. I had to change some areas make them bigger/ get rid of them/ change the material. There were various things that needed to be changed but not totally redesigned. It goes back to a previous post "breaking the rules," when the rules limit your design they need to be broken!!! Also after the corrections collage I intend to make another one with the correct spacing but make it sectional. The cemetery I am designing can not solely be observed in plan it has a sectional quality about it that needs to be expressed in order to properly convey the experience. What I envision to do combine a collage with a drawdel creating a .... well there's no name for it yet but I'll work on that one as well!!!!...... Back to work!!

Fixing awkward moments

Don't want anyone feeling trapped of questioning why the heck did they lead me here
