Mystery Play

A Grid:

Hueyjiwhatsits Grid problem opens many many ideas. Grids imply an isolation, a seperation from anything outside your particular box. They imply a conformity of space and form, a monotony of repetition after repetition.

Playing on this with repeated basic modules would seem to comply with the segmentation of a grid, however, seperate a section of a grid enough and another section will need to pass through, crashing, breaking, gliding or passing through with a smooth transition.

Nature forms a basis for bringing grids together.

Technology brings paths close and aligned

The spaces in the grid, through their differences, transform it into a space where alternate paths can cometogether

A Unit is split into two. Seperating technology from the main residence. From the main tower though the garage can always be seen.

The gardens are intertwined, ones garden is anothers path to their own seperate residence. Seperated, exposed and elevated walkways connect the garage to the residence, often passing alongside, under, and above anothers path. The closeness of the paths and the mements where they seem almost to coexist show us alternate pathways, alternate endings.

Alternate Ending Re-thought

Ok.

The alternate ending idea is nice...but writers block hits the best (and worst) of us.

But i did think that it would be an excellent idea to explore the idea of the possibilities of alternate endings in Mystery Play. As in one house module of sorts, but alternate explorations of that one basic module. I have thought this through quite a bit more than it sounds but don't want to give too much away...

I have also found some excellent sources of inspiration through the Graffiti Art of one 'Banksy' Who mainly caught my eye with his Graffiti along the Palestine/Israel Segregation wall.

This one depicts an officer of sorts pulling apart a section of the wall to reveal sunny beaches on the other side. I just find it fascinating how a graphic can change whole aspects of simple objects...and also highlight many many more themes and meanings behind this wall.

This was also another one i noted, I'm not 100% sure on the meaning and significance of the black balloons but did see part of a doco that had many of the locals holding black balloons along the wall. Its showing a longing for freedom, its very sad, seeing two countries forced to separate themselves with a massive wall, a childs longing to escape shows alot of innocence being destroyed by this barrier.

I would love to see an alternate ending to the Palestine/Israel conflict...
