Michelle Tran, 4/8/2020, Noguchi and Sanda

It must be absolutely beautiful and joyful to live like a kid at a playground. Thinking about my times at a playground makes me reflect on my past and the things I could imagine. More recently, Noguchi's non-directive play reminds me of a project I did for ARCH 1020 with Sanda Iliescu - something she called the Play Proun.

Sanda's definition of a proun was never quite defined, as it was so abstract. From the looks of our projects, it felt like it could have been anything we wanted it to be, defined on our own terms and imagination. For iteration 3 and 4 of this project, she had us write about our structure as a play proun. She wanted us to imagine how one would experience our structure, walk through it, view it, and, most importantly, have fun with it. There was a creative genius and playfulness she believed everyone has.

For my proun and its iterations, I focused on movement. More specifically, how each piece moved in relation to another. Most of my pieces could slide left or right, up or down, creating different possibilities. Here's a piece from my paragraph I wrote for my proun:

"It has pieces that can shift around like its living. Every night, it morphs into something new, something different. One day, you’ll see it with its arms stretched out wide, but the next day, it might be laying on its side, resting. One day, you’ll discover a way to get to the very top, but the next, you’ll have to come up with another, almost like its testing you - but you don’t have to climb it. You can sit on its ledges and underneath its roofs while fogging up the glass window to start drawing the scenery around you, or you can take a stroll through it or walk upon the perched ledges and enjoy the view. The only challenge is knowing what you want to explore that day."

I admit that it wasn't as utopic or other-worldly as Noguchi's playgrounds, but I'd like to think there was some similar aspect of letting a child play without instructions or restraints, letting children find different ways to use the space for their imagination.

  One instance I really enjoyed from the Noguchi reading/recording was when they evaluated a playground's success by measuring a parent's understanding of it. If they were confused on how the playground worked, then it was a success. To Noguchi, there is no definite purpose or way of using a playground. It didn't come with an instruction book or guidelines on "what's this for?" It was a new world where everything was up for debate and reimagination. It's purpose and definition was all up to those with imagination and playfulness, much like how we could define what a proun was in ARCH 1020.

TREAT

In their ongoing celebration of 20 years in business, Charlottesville Skin & Laser is pleased to offer a 20% discount on microblading services for eyebrows or permanent eyeliner.  Microblading is a semi-permanent makeup procedure where their licensed and professionally trained practitioner utilizes a specialized pen, drawing each hair onto the brow one by one. This precise and detailed process can enhance thin or over-plucked eyebrows or fill in gaps, giving you full, natural-looking results.  Permanent eyeliner is a technique where pigment is placed into the dermis on the upper eyelid and/or lower lash line. Pigment can also by placed between the eyelashes, which creates a visual effect of dark, thick, and lush lashes.   Head into Charlottesville Skin & Laser for a free consultation if you’re not sure if microblading or permanent eyeliner is right for you. This special is valid during the month of August. As always, you are welcome to take advantage of this offer and bank it (buy now and use later).
