Yesterday, the last day of Summer quarter, a small dream came true during a review on my group project on Le Corbisier's Villa Savoye. Our reviewer told us about his friends from school who did a similar project, but their analysis involved an interpretive dance describing the structural elements of this particular house. One guy was in a black body suit and portrayed the rigid geometrical aspects of the home; the pillars and the rectangular shape of the house. He kept his back very straight and marched in a square. Meanwhile, another guy in a white bodysuit represented the curvilinear forms of some of the walls, and free-form flowed around the pillar guy.
I'm sure they must have had fun doing this, but it really is a great way to show this aspect of the house; the tension between the grid and the organic forms. A floor plan will tell you the same information, but dancing so clearly conveys emotion and experience with just a few steps.
