I chose to turn the average clock tower we have on campus into a more ancient cultural monument for people to appreciate. I was mostly influenced by Jackie Ferrara, who has designed and built courtyards, terraces, and architecture structures since the early 1970s. I enjoyed her work because she takes simple boring architecture and would alter it to make it become more appreciative. I took wall designs from Aztec ruins and the Sri Yantras' from the Middle East. I believe it will make the campus a better place because by turning this modern looking clock tower into artwork which looks more cultural takes you away from where you are and gives people a chance to relax and feel less stressed by the troubles of school.

Definitely a departure from the bland architecture of campus. I like it when architecture is a cultural hodge-podge and I think this piece would definitely bring the Mira Costa campus in that direction. Very creative!

ReplyDeleteI think the different styles really flow together well, this could easily be mistaken as all coming from just one culture. Looks like a completely different clock tower then what's there now! - Youness
ReplyDeleteThis looks good. I like how you chose multiple images and made them work well together. I also like how you included the ceiling, which gives it a little depth.

Totally dig the look of your version for the clock tower. I especially like your choice on the actual clock. I like the color and how it blends in with the whole Aztec vibe.

I love the art you used for the clock itself! It matches perfectly using the gradient and circles.

Aztec styling, cool! In addition to adding beauty, it also gives us a glimpse into history and culture.
