Quick sketch of a door bell:
I didnt include any kind of scale but the space is two stories high so you can imagine the form to be at its widest part about 16 feet tall.
The space is a warehouse loft and the client wants a low profile piece againts the wall which "does something". We thought it would be good comedy to make it a huge door bell which bellowed out some mega low rumbling note every time a guest would arrive and push the button at the door.
It will work just like an organ pipe with compressed air blowing over a carved reed or an edge, and the volume of the shape would resonate, and rattle the ceiling joist and knock the other paintings off the wall. *grin
We suspect it will not fly, but eleminating bad ideas is still progress.

haha, 'sounds' great! :D
a wonderfully cheesy rendering, might I add ;)
I was online tryng to gather information on organ pipes, and I found this guy in Germany named Matthias Wandel. I think Per Corell may have met his match.

oh good lord! This guy is amazing, he should go to the AA or Bartlett and kick some ass. :)
lol
that is a crap project
that is a crap critique
I agree with crap project mr. taylor, and unfortunatly you should get used to being told your projects are crap. It's crap because it's a red herring. The bell ringer is what makes the space, for all purposes it's a carnival attraction, an amusing one, but still a side show. Give me your address and I'll send you my quarter.
Tom,
Thats fine, and Im willing to take criticism. Thats the benefit of posting work publicly. My position on the project is that it is not architecture, however there is a notion of scale, and the gross manipulation of it. ...so you may not like it, and I respect your opinion. Hell I might even agree with you, but one thing I wont agree on is that I dont have to get used to empty insults like what was posted by boyles.
Anyway, LOL, I might take you up on that quarter, as now that im back in school, I could really use it.
