stie drawing recovery of the movie 'The Shining'
In our Year 1 studio, we are invited to examine and develop creative ideas in response to the fundamental elements and principles of the interior. These have been developed into three key focus areas: Identities, Proximities, and Inhabitation with each issue being explored through a sequence of related projects.
Embracing the atomised 'remote' and confusion of current times, the overarching theme for this year's studio work is Babel. The site for these interior explorations is The Overlook Hotel from Stanley Kubrick's film The Shining.
This following project of our RCA Year 1 course is a preheat part. It asked us to recreate the hotel space in the movie ‘The Shining’. According to the spacing in the film, we students can create our own versions of the ‘Overlook Hotel’. To start with, each group responds for one room in the ‘hotel’, our group took the kitchen, the following drawings are the plan and section drawings.
