Project 2: 5 Metaphors

So the location I decided to "mine" on Monday's class was the basement "commons" room of the Hovland building. Metaphors to describe/organize the space include:
- Tone (audial)
- frequency changes of tones (may relate to texture)
- Texture
- soft to hard, smooth to rough, etc.
- Age
- organized in a timeline of the objects/fixtures located in the space
- Color
- organize with the color wheel as the guide. (does it even need to be in color? organize in a
grayscale fashion?)
- Chance
- "happenstance" of the random nature of placement of discarded items in the room
- Temperature
- temperature increases the further one gets from the door (organize objects/aspects of the
room by their proximity to temperature increase?)
- Transition
- looking at juxtaposition of the objects in the room, focusing on difference (soft couch / hard floor, skeleton key door hardware / incandescent lights, etc.)

Notes on observations and organization of the space:
- texture: fuzzy sofa, ugly tile floor, rusty metal, clean metal
- colors: yellows, faded green, brown, rust, white, "melting pot of colors," mostly neutral and faded greens

Observations:
- 2 men in a nearby office talking softly about the Bible - slight laughter, woman walking through room with quick, decisive steps
