1	positions of place: converging viewpoints in visual communication Schmidt, Gregory J 01 January 2017 (has links) This thesis includes a body of work that explores our visual relationship to the physical spaces and places we inhabit in our everyday lives. Today we live in a complex world where we are bombarded with fragments of information and inundated with distractions. As designers, we are equipped with tools and methods that allow us to experience and interpret our environment through multi-faceted perspectives and from different viewpoints. My approach to graphic design adopts techniques and practices from a mix of different disciplines. The work focuses on a design process that alternates between the parallel depiction of first-person and third-person vantage points mediated through contemporary technologies. place space perspective viewpoint vantage point vantage point Graphic Design
2	An Exaggerated Perspective Arcade Webber, Emily May 17 June 2009 (has links) This thesis is an exaggerated perspective arcade. The exaggerated perspective has a vantage point that is placed across the street from the site and is differentiated from the sidewalk. Therefore, the position at which the arcade is optimally viewed is demarcated. Over its 100 feet in length, the arcade converges and all the elements within the false perspective diminish in size to support the optical illusion. Constructed perspective techniques and anamorphic perspective techniques are utilized to construct this ideal view of the arcade between the two buildings. / Master of Architecture Optical Illusion Arcade Perspective Vantage Point
3	Vantage Point and Visual Imagery: Effects on Recall in Younger and Older Adults Midden, Allison J. 12 May 2012 (has links) The current study explored the influence of priming vantage point at retrieval on the recall of younger and older adults, in addition to the effects of visualization ability on recall. Based on McIsaac and Eich’s (2002) findings of the effects on younger adults’ recall, it was hypothesized that recollections would be more likely to include certain features when retrieved through the field vantage point (FVP) than through the observer vantage point (OVP) and vice-versa. Additionally, it was expected that older adults would recall more detailed memories from the OVP than from the FVP. Finally, it was hypothesized that visualization ability would influence memory vividness and that it would be more influential in older adults than in younger adults. The experiment was conducted across two sessions. In Session 1, participants completed a visual imagery assessment, and memories were created in the laboratory with younger (n = 20; 18-21 years old) and older (n = 18; 63-88 years old) adults through the completion of two activities. In Session 2, participants recalled the activities from either the FVP or the OVP. Participants’ recollections were coded for various memory characteristics, which acted as dependent variables in analyses. A significant interaction effect (p = .003) between age and vantage point was found on the characteristic of psychological state, such that older adults referred to their psychological state in FVP memories more than in OVP memories (p = .002), while younger adults demonstrated no significant difference. Imagery ability significantly predicted several aspects of participants’ subjective recall experience. Overall, the results indicate that retrieval vantage point does not change the content of one’s recollections on most measures for either younger or older adults and that visual mental imagery ability predicts several aspects of one’s recall experience. episodic memory memory vantage point visual imagery aging Cognitive Psychology Psychology Social and Behavioral Sciences
4	passage, utkiksplats, förhall, ljusrum, nisch, återvändsgränd / passage, vantage point, vestibule, light room, niche, dead-end Kindahl, Johanna January 2018 (has links) Utgångspunkten för projektet är en undersökning av mina egna minnen av grundskolan. Genom att rita upp skolan ur minnet och analysera utvalda rumsligheter har jag undersökt vad jag minns av skolbyggnaden och varför. Upplevelsen av många av rumsligheterna jag minns som spännande handlade om ett upptäckande. En organisering av rumsligheterna i relation till riktning ledde till en idé om en spatial struktur och orienterbarhet utifrån två korsande axlar. Inre riktningar i relation till två korsande axlar har analyserats genom Palladios Villa Rotonda och Palazzo Della Torre. Riktningarna från undersökningen har satts i relation till platsens riktningar. Undersökningen resulterade i två volymer med en passage mellan. Genom passagen spänner den yttre primära axeln mellan en mur framför skolan mot vägen och skogen som utgör den bortre gränsen för skolgården. I skärningspunkten av axlarna finns en innegård, ett förrum till byggnaderna och den inre tvärgående axeln. Den inre axeln ger en spatial struktur kring vilka rum är organiserade. Ett pelarsystem bidrar till att framhäva riktningarna i byggnaden. En lång förhall omgiven av pelare leder från entréerna vid innergården fram till slutpunkten för den inre axeln, ett ljusrum som sträcker sig genom våningsplanen. Den norra delen för de yngre barnen har en trappa framför ljusrummet, trappan återkommer för de äldre barnen i den södra delen bakom ljusrummet. I anslutning till korridorer och allmän yta finns rum med kvalitéer från undersökningen att upptäcka. / The starting point of the project is an analysis of my own memories of elementary school. By drawing up the school from memory and analyzing selected spaces, I have investigated what I remember about the school building and why. The experience of many of the spaces I remember as exciting was about a discovery. An organization of spatial relationships in relation to direction led to an idea of a spatial structure and orientation based on two intersecting axes. Internal directions in relation to two intersecting axes have been analyzed by Palladios Villa Rotonda and Palazzo Della Torre. The directions from the analysis have been put in relation to the directions of the site. The the analysis resulted in two volumes with a passage between. Through the passage, the outer primary axis spans a wall in front of the school towards the road and the forest which constitutes the far border of the schoolyard. At the intersection of the axes is an inner courtyard, an vestibule for the buildings and the inner transverse axis. The inner axes provides a spatial structure around which rooms are organized. A pillar system helps to emphasize the directions in the building. A long vestibule surrounded by pillars leads from the entrances by the inner courtyard to the end point of the inner vestibule, a light room that extends through the floors. The northern part for the younger children has a staircase in front of the light room, the staircase recur for the older children in the southern part behind the light room. In connection with corridors and public areas, there are rooms with qualities from the analysis to be discovered. elementary school mälarängen passage vantage point vestibule light room niche dead-end förskola mälarängen passage utkiksplats förhall ljusrum nisch återvändsgränd Architecture Arkitektur

6	In Real Life (Or Elsewhere) : om kreativa processer och parallella verkligheter i dokumentärfilm Nevanti, Kirsi January 2017 (has links) Reality isn’t what it appears to be. Contexts are not always clear and visible. People don’t always say what they really mean. And they don’t always mean what they say. When life is your stage manager, anything can happen. I often say, life is hard, my head is harder. Making documentaries is not for the faint-hearted.This PhD project explores creative processes and parallel realities in documentary film, and discusses and conceptualizes the artistic practice of documentary filmmaking. The project consists in part of artistic works and essays that are critical reflections on the creative process and how that process can be conceptualized. The cinematic centerpiece of the thesis is entitled Images and the Worlds of Being (2011–2016). Previous subprojects are A Shift Between Worlds (2013–2015) and an essay book entitled In Real Life (or Elsewhere) (2013). Between 2013 and 2017, more essays were written, some of them translated to English. All the Swedish essays are available in PDF format. All of the works in the PhD project explore creative processes and parallel realities in two different ways: A Shift Between Worlds (2013–2015) explores identity and parallel realities in the gendered world. These works are based on two workshops led by Diane Torr, “Man for a Day” and “Woman for a Day.” They resulted in several component works, including two video essays, two audio works and two large-format photographic works, the latter in collaboration with photographer Johan Bergmark, as well as a short commentary film entitled Diane Speaks Out (2016). Images and the Worlds of Being (2011–2016) – a VR Classic Style film – explores what happens when documentary images are shown on four screens forming the walls of a room. This work also focuses on the view through the camera lens through which the filmmaker meets the world, in a hypnotic tapestry of parallel realities in a tenderly portrayed, runaway present. A sort of logical reasoning about the illogic of our era, in search of elusive reality (to paraphrase Jean Baudrillard) – the presence in the act of seeing.
