Reconstruct, Revive, Recall

I'm working towards the creating three books which present the idea of layers which show presence within the house, working on the words, 'Reconstruct, Revive and Recall'. These words have developed from palimpsest research. 

The above images show ideas for presenting the Reconstruct book. Working form the quotation, 'Every home is first a geometric object of planes and right angles. Inhabited space transcends the geometrical space.' I will work on presenting the architectural drawing to present the house as a geometric object, then present the mark which makes the space an inhabited one. 

Someone was there...

Examples of experimenting with sculpture to express the idea of a trace of the presence of the absence. Taking the form of the cushion and emphasising the indents to portray someone was there. There is an eery aesthetic felt from the cushions, especially from the cushion that shows the indents of someone that was hugging the cushion. The white appearance also adds to the eery effect presenting the realm of presence from the absence.  

A brilliant and effective book by Olafur Eilasson, containing the negative space of his nineteenth-century family house. A laser cut book which presents a precise image of the house, Eilasson wanted the book to look like a book and not an object or a sculpture.  

The weight of the paper was chosen to correspond to the measurements of the 'house', i.e each sheet corresponds to the scale of the real house also represents a 2cm cross section of his house.  

The aesthetics of the book appear beautiful, it would be brilliant to actually see and touch the book.
