This is "New York Movie" painted by Edward Hopper. First of all, the wall in the painting divided the light spacious corridor and the dark crowded seats, so I divided the painting in to 9 pieces, which is next drawing. Second, I think the rank order ceiling in the theatre let people feel the theatre is longer than it was, so I put this part into my design as the ceiling of the side stages. Third, looking at this painting, I thought about the relationship between the film and the actress. I also thought some questions, such as, what will an actress do before making the film? how does she improve herself? and what does she get the knowledge from?
My parti is an geometry drawing. This is how I divided the painting into 9 parts with different levels of light. The left-up is the bright part which is the corridor in the New York Movie, and the right- bottom is the theatre seats. I use the bright part as a stage, the medium light parts as an access stage connecting with the room, and the dark place as a room for actress.
This is the Poche drawing of floor plan. There is a very large wardrobe for her, becasue an actress should have lots of clothes. She can make up at the table next to the wardrobe, and there are two big mirrors near the doorway to look up her dressing. There are a TV, DVD and CD cabinet next to it, a book cupboard and a comfortable sofa in the room. She can use them to relax, take the idea from the movies, know information from the books. After preparing, there is a big stage for her to rehearsal and performance as well.
