The George Porter workshop in Sheffield features a central circulation corridor that serves as the backbone of the space. From this corridor, individuals can access the wood workshop, anechoic chamber, or the store. What stood out the most about this workshop was the captivating way in which one's movement along the corridor offered glimpses of adjacent activities through openings or windows. These changing views, influenced by parallax, created a captivating and immersive experience. The workshop itself is adorned with an array of wooden scraps, empty cardboard boxes designated for reuse, and remnants of previous student projects. These artifacts serve as memory markers, reflecting the work of past students and instilling a sense of ongoing activity and narrative within the space.
In this conceptual representation, the parallax effect and the glimpses it generates are emphasized through a carefully crafted framework model that encompasses diverse activities and materials. The model replicates the central line of vision found in the actual George Porter Workshop, but deliberately disrupts it by incorporating shifted openings, mirroring the parallax and perspective experience. Miniature wooden boxes and cardboard scraps are thoughtfully placed within the model, nestled in between the architectural elements. As a result, viewers can explore the model with their eyes, mirroring the experience of moving through the George Porter Workshop and catching fleeting glimpses of various activities. Moreover, the textured walls featured in the model recreate the texturised surfaces one would encounter in the workshop. The model offers a unique opportunity to engage with the spatial qualities and dynamic nature of the workshop in a tangible and interactive way.
