DESIGN THEOREM | HYPOTHESIS
Since the beginning, archi tectural design has taken inspirat ion f rom di f ferent f ie lds of ar t such as, dance, music, paint ings and more. I t was not un-t i l the twent ieth centur y that photography became a popular media in ar t and was made avai lable to the masses. This modern ar t d i f fers f rom the other medias by the fact that i t is created in a matter of seconds, records the here and now, and can never be reproduced in the exact same manner. Archi tec-ture has began to take inf luence from photography, a re lat ionship unique to other forms of ar t , wi th de-f in ing character ist ics that l ink the two, whi le a lso conf i rming their independence from one another. Photography relates to archi tecture in that they both share the the measurement of l ight , the consid-erat ion of v iews, and the composit ion of the f rame. The di f ference that between the two would be that photography remains two-dimensional , whi le archi -tecture is three-dimensional . The intent of the the-s is would be to explore th is change of d imensions and discover how photography could inform the cre-at ion of space. A photograph is the documentat ion of a target that represents the space, t ime and the percept ion the photographer sees, and can not be repl icated
ident ical ly. Photography is a language that ever yone can interpret in their own manner no matter what the indiv idual percept ion; a t ra i t that is mirrored in the interpretat ion of Archi tecture by the inhabitant of the space. This idea of re lat ions between dimensional states would then be explored by the interact ion and transformation that takes place between the two-dimensions and three-dimensions. A ser ies of methodologies was created to explore th is idea, by shi f t ing between analog + dig i ta l media and two-di -mensional + three-dimensional states. Through this t ransformat ion, the design evolved and developed into elements for space. This process is a lso looking at the relat ionship of how photography has developed through i ts ex is -tence. Beginning with an actual three-dimensional space as a means for recording informat ion in the camera obscura, the histor y of photography has drast ical ly changed and is now enter ing into the f ie ld of archi tecture through technological advance-ments that a l low photographical e lements to be ex-per ienced spat ia l ly.
THESIS STATEMENT | DESIGN THEOREM
Architecture and Photography have s imi lar character ist ics, such as the measure of l ight , composit ion, and frame , wi th the di f ference being the three dimensional state of archi tecture, and the two dimensional s tate of photography. The intent of the thesis wi l l be to explore the t ransformation between two dimensional and three dimensional media and how this informs the design of space.

WALTER BENJAMIN[(1892-1940)
Walter Benjamin’s ear ly essay, A Shor t Histor y of Photography, is a cr i t i -c ism of the beginning years of photography. He descr ibes i t in a way that photography is now what i t was not intended to be.
This thesis p icks up f rom this point and tracks the histor y of photography and then begins to develop an understanding of where i t is going in the fu -ture. These new advancements in the l i fe of photography have connect ions to archi tecture through spat ia l exper ience and conf i rm through qual i t ies such as scale, d istor t ion, and even three-dimensions.

Archi tecture and photography have s imi lar character ist ics such as l ight modulat ion, composit i ton, and framing that are used in designing ei ther a p iece of archi tecture or in a photograph. Each ar t ist uses these elements as tools for creat ing a design of meri t .

THE CAMERA OBSCURA | DESIGN THEOREM
2. “Histor y of Photography and the Camera.” About .com Inventors. N.p. , n .d. Web. 08 Dec. 2013
The camera obscura l i teral ly means “dark room” in Lat in. By placing a smal l hole in the wal l of a dark room, the l ight wi l l t ravel through and mirror the image on the opposite wal l . Photography takes root f rom the camera obscura and develops f rom there.1
The camera obscura is the bir th of photography.
The camera obscura is an actual three-dimensional space that produces a two-dimensional image. The camera obscura could be considered “step one” of th is idea of a methodology of designing space by t ransforming f rom three-dimensions to two.

The Inst i tut was created as a dest inat ion de-voted to the relat ionship of Arab cul ture in France. The featured aspect of the bui ld ing is the br ise solei l system of the southern facade. I ts repeated patterning relates to an Arabic archi tectural e lement, the mashrabiyya, a t ra-di t ional lat t ice work that is used for sun pro-tect ion and pr ivacy. The system is composed of hundreds of l ight sensi t ive diaphragms that regulate the l ight that enters the bui ld ing.
These diagrams are an aper ture mechanism that mimics the same funct ion in a camera. L ight modulat ion was a s igni f icant factor that had to be control led in the bui ld ing, and Nou-vel took the camera mechanism as a tool to solve a problem.1
Space of Engagement: This bui ld ing has mult ip le funct ions including a restaurant , museum, l ibrar y, of f ices and an auditor ium. I t is a social space that celebrates the Arab cul ture’s re lat ionship with France.

Chapel in villeaceronS.M.A .O ALMADEN, CIUDAD REAL, SPAIN1996-2001This chapel was created to have a c lose relat ionship be-tween space and the objects that occupy i t . The design is minimal with a focal point of a cross on the wal l as the only ornamentat ion, a l lowing for a serene place for ref lect ion. I t is based on a ser ies of studies of fo lded paper that are t ranslated into a concrete structure. Nat -ural l ight is the second main mater ia l used that takes advantage of i ts ever-changing and fragi le character is -t ics and compares them to the strong and stat ic charac-ter ist ics of concrete.1
The design process of th is bui ld ing is impor tant as i t re lates to a 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional re lat ion-ship. The studies began with a 2-dimensional mater ia l and manipulated i t unt i l they developed a 3-dimensional space from i t .

RENAISSANCE BARCELONA FIRA HOTEL
This 24 storey double tower has a focus on the t rans-parency of the bui ld ing volume and provides a refuge where palm trees and vegi tat ion are t ransformed into archi tectural e lements in the open-air ver t ical c i rcula-t ion in the atr ium of the bui ld ing. These palm trees are then represented on the facades of the bui ld ing through images on the g lass skin and cast into the concrete wal ls . A var iety of colors, l ights and shadows “conver t the hotel into a l ive and changing element that ref lects the intensi ty or absense of natural l ight .” 1
The outstanding element of the project are the images of palm trees that are pr inted onto the facades. From the inter ior, these images can be exper ienced spat ia l ly and project the bui ld ing f rom harsh sunl ight . This is an example of how the advancement of technology al lows us to exper ience the photographic image in an archi tec-tural way.
Space of Engagement and Meditat ion:This bui ld ing is an example of both a publ ic and pr ivate space. Sect ions of the bui ld ing provide a social envi -ronment whi le a lso providing pr ivate spaces.

METHODOLOGIES | DESIGN ANALYSIS
To develop and understand this t ranformat ion between dimensions, I conducted a ser ies of methodologies that t ransferred between analog + dig i ta l media and 2-dimensional + 3-dimensional media. Three or ig inal photographs were selected to study; each of which had proper t ies that could be translated into archi tectural design. The f i rst image, used for the 2D methodology, is a photograph of pepples on the ground at a beach in Barcelona, Spain. The second, used for the 2.5D methodology, is an image of a canopy of palm leaves with the l ight p iecing through at the Botanical Gardens in At lanta, Georgia. The thi rd image, used for the 3D methodology, is an actual archi tectural space and is looking up at the sky through a l ight wel l at the Barcelona Forum by Herzog + de Muron in Barce-lona, Spain.
The or ig inal base images are brought f rom their 2D state and are t ranslated into model form. A photograph is then taken of the model and brought back into the computer. The image is manipulated and the sequence begins again and cont inues for several revolut ions.
