EXPLORING THE HIDDEN CHOREOGRPHY OF GONDOLA: A DANCE THEATRE / Konstantinos Papaoikonomou

One of the most iconic things in Venice is Gondola, which is related with the history of the city. Inspired by the movement of the gondolieri and the light dancing inside the curved spaces; I created this imagery of combining thoses 2 aspects into a structural form that its purpose is to enhance and emphasize movement. I took the principles of the customization of each different forcola and applied that aspect into my structure. creating forms and spaces ideal for every room.Studying the form and trying to develop it in a more functional as well expressional manner, I came to the conclusion that minor changes regarding it's shape should be taken. Ending up with a more elegant and ideal form, which supported as well enhanced the functionality of the spaces within celebrating the movement and more specific Dance.
