For the commission we have been asked to base our work on how the Humanities disciplines contribute to the world in the 21st century, I have decided to look at the idea of humanities within the global context and the effect it has upon the human condition. Within the building a large range of subjects are studied, including Languages, Philosophy, Sociology and History. Through studying in the faculty one can learn how different cultures and communities work and how they reflect themselves. Through my work, I intend to to communicate my ideas about the ever changing world.
I visited the Geofrey Manton building on the MMU campus. Although I have regularly visited this building for lectures and seminars I have never taken in the space of the building. It is a large building with some interesting areas and spaces to design a piece of work. From my initial ideas and drawings the idea of hanging or floating in space made the stairwell seem appropriate as there is space between each level on the stairwell. Another posibility is to hang my work from the roof or from one side of the balcony to the other across the atrium.
