As a continuation of the Nighthawks concept, I was thinking of the possibility of a drug rehabilitation centre, not a large scale one, but a series of rooms for an individual to spend an indefinate amount of time in to heal themselves of addiction.
After mapping the spaces out as a three step process of cleansing, reflecting, and completing, I looked to the painting itself for imformation on how light could move through the spaces and make a significant impact on each.
This translated into three very basic shapes, as I wanted the light to make the biggest statement, especially how it moves with the particular elements of each room; a cleansing font, a mirrored space, and an escape.
I wanted to keep the concept of the crack in the pavement as the site, as I thought this was quite interesting...we step over hundreds of cracks, they have no purpose, they are a void...but maybe someone longs to curl up into one to escape the city.
