ABSTRACT

This chapter provides reference to various scenarios used to reveal the dynamic life of interiors that exist simultaneously with the static architectural realm, and discusses the orthographic hinge and pirouette on the orthographic hinge. The pirouette is a unique example when placed in dialogue with the orthographic system. Orthographic projection is the fundamental drawing system in interior architectural design for grounding a project in true measurement in order to convey information to builders. Inherent to the orthographic system is the ability to take individual views of an object and fold them up into a three-dimensional form in its most basic silhouette. The chapter utilizes dance as a means of highlighting temporal movements of occupants to probe where the orthographic system supports or breaks from allowing the temporal to enter into the drawing. The movement of a dancer is a myopic representation of how the body moves through space.
