PHILHARMONIC OPERA HALL

FOURTH YEAR

My thesis delves into the realm of cartoon physics, exploring the dynamics of objects interacting with one another while preserving their original forms. This investigation centers on the transformation that occurs when a secondary object makes contact with the primary object. Remarkably, the secondary object assumes the shape of the primary object without causing deformation or damage. As the secondary object progresses towards enveloping the primary form, it descends to the ground with an expressive “SPLAT!” This onomatopoeic element contributes to the augmentation of the secondary form, resulting in the creation of exaggeratedly whimsical action lines and a distinctly cartoonish structure that defies the constraints of reality.

The incorporation of this playful “SPLAT!” phenomenon not only enhances the visual narrative but also imbues the secondary form with an animated essence that transcends the boundaries of the physical world. This innovative approach to form manipulation generates both organic and purposeful points of entry, particularly when considering the secondary form’s potential as architectural inspiration.
