Project Name: Joseph Stones House
Client: Allen Todd Architects
Date: June 2006
A film commision in conjunction with Leeds Architecture
Week acollaboration with Joe
Gilmore.
Over the period of a single day we took over
three thousand photographs from mutiple perspectives, on a series
of circumnavigated walks around Joseph Stones House, a new student
halls of residence in Leeds town centre. With the images we were
able to produce a 10 minute chronological video of the building
and its surrounding environment. We then took the colour pattern
which has been designed into the window scheme and used it as
a score in a custom made patch using Max/MSP.
Our software then edited the film making pre
defined edits and alterations controlled by the arrangement of
colours in our code, ostensibly getting the building to edit its
own film.
The resulting film was screened at the Architecture
Week launch event in Leeds, to an accompanying soundtrack 'Breezeblock'
performed live by the Composers Ensemble under the direction of
Didrik Ingvaldsen.
