Finally, I needed to choose something to draw inspiration from for my final models. I needed to narrow it down a bit instead of viewing insects as a whole. With a newfound love for silk moths and cocoons, I was able to come up with two options to represent two ways of viewing insect architecture. One being a very literal interpretation, and the other one an abstract, simplified interpretation. The first model consists of glossy, wool filled cocoons, tangled in webs and the other one a model of a box with holes cut out representing the cocoons. In the latter example the play between light and shadow creates an additional layer of cocoons as well as the cut outs and drawn circles. The simple silhouette and the familiar shapes help add a human quality to an otherwise foreign design. The idea is that both models can be placed in between the buildings in Stenpiren. It was a deliberate choice to add people to the cocoons in the first model and leave the other model empty to see if adding people would change the overall atmosphere and make it appear more human.
