Astrid Constant
I found an article about a holiday bungalow design by Constant that is designed to maximise the holiday experience and "blur the limits of the inside and outside world, lying somewhere inbetween".
To me this makes an interesting concept with relation to porosity as it simulates one of the aims of porosity yet on another plain. Some aspects from this concept might be of good use in the work on porosity if the ideas can be transferred.

Another article on her page wasabout an Ecotourism Hotel in Cambodia. When looking over this article I noticed that the buildigns all resembled that of traditional Cambodia, which gave the impresion of a space that was fabricated recently for tourists to live in, however gave the impression of an ancient building. Again maybe this idea of illusion can be transferred to the work on porosity to where a borderline is blurred.
Architecture could be abstracted in an illusive manner thereby removing the explicit labelling of public and private spaces, an thus creating new and interesting forms of public space.

Lab Four
In my video I decided to utilise a documentary style that simulates a dramatic and fast paced action movie. The captioning is concise and describes exactly what needs to be known about the shot. The camera shots are all first person views as I felt there would be no better way to place the viewer in the seat of the action than to give them the eyes of the perpetrator. In the end the compilation of shots shown give a clear understanding of the landforms and the environment in which the tests are taking place. This assists in communicating world and the events taking place.

Lab Two
The exploding of the village buildings was unfirom throughout the experiement, as I had placed explosive barrels infront of each. However, depending on the immediate surroundings of the buildings the visual effect was very different. For those with the ocean as it's background, the explosions seemed to have space allowed for the movement, giving it the appearance of a larger radius. For those with the mountain as it's background, the explosion seemed enclosed and forced into a smaller space, thus giving the impression of an explosion not as great.
