~ Map(in) Igualada - Map 01 - Trial ~

"a map that must be produced, constructed, a map that is always detachable, connectable, reversible, modifiable, and has multiple entryways and exits and its own lines of flight."


Our next assignment is called Map(in)Igualada. 


Our task was to look at the site map and to focus on a point of interest that has a means of transition.


For my project, I came up with two choices. Either the mortuary building in which the public space would bring the visitors through a long and zig-zagged shaped corridor and finally into the autopsy rooms, or the mausoleum structure located towards the end of the path where the symbolic "river" invites you. 


I have instead chosen to go with the mausoleum structure located at the end of the path of the site. I figured this spot had a unique shape and form and I'd thought I'd give it a shot. 


Here are some example trials carving into a regular 11" x 17" (A3) sheet of paper.


The first image is of the site to represent the transition space between the boundaries of the exterior shape of the "pit" and in the interior form of the "crypt". the paper has been cut out and flipped on both sides of the sheet to give it the impression that it can be viewed from all angles.

This next piece is of the same site but instead of taking the boundaries, I chose to cut out the pieces of the symbolic "river". This "river" leads visitors from the beginning of the path, pass through the tombs on either side of the path and finally ending and gesturing to enter the doorways of the mausoleum.
