EDWARD HOPPER - SUMMER EVENINGS 1947
It seems these two are romantically involved, but the woman is not looking at the man, and her body is not turned towards him. The real attention to the other involves having the experience with the outside the self, as well as an experience with subjective conceptualization or impression of the other. However there is an inevitable tension between connection and separation, the self’s wish for absolute independence conflicts with the self’s need for recognition. In trying to establish itself as an independent entity, the self must yet recognize the other as a subject like itself in order to be recognized by it.
This immediately compromises the self’s absoluteness and poses the problem that the other could be equally absolute and independent. Each self wants to be recognized and yet to maintain its absolute identity: The self says, “I want to affect you, but I want nothing you do or say to affect me, I am who I am.” In its encounter with the other, the self wishes to affirm its absolute independence, even though its need for the other and the other’s similar wish gives the lie to it.
The reason I chose this painting was because of the variation of light that i feel expresses the complexities of life and the main subject whose expression suggests that they are lost in thought and seems to be trapped in a secure space.
NARRATIVE
A cage, for a secured conversation, inspite of the dangers the world around!
SITE
The site location I've chosen is based on open mountain hills with thick vegetation and slopes to express the changes in direction experience inside the site. It helps to demonstrate what dangers lie around the site where one person would move to one space to another.

FINAL MODEL
In my final model images I want to demonstrate the lighting and darking affects for the spaces occupied by the couples where the strong light focuses in the middle of the cage where the couple engage there intense communication. The cage intensifies the situation being tight and secure, knowing that there stuck like magnet!
The cage shows shadow affects in terms of the angle postioned and length in size, so if the couple decide to move around instead of sitting in one postion, they can be sitting on steps of the stairs. It shows as they sit further away they both tend to walk there own space for privacy up the stairs inside the room. If each of them decide to leave to be together, they'll come back down through the site where its unsafe and dangerous through the landscape, then into the middle space where they can continue there lost in thoughts!
Overall the reason for using this type of elemental building was to integral it with the site as an example showned above. The cage and stairs onsite shows variation and shadow effects as a techique used by Edward Hopper painting summer evening, which portrays the light and dark effect in the image. Also I played around with colour effects and tones to see what signifcance can light and dark produce in this model!
