Christ in Limbo

by 

Hieronymus Bosch

1578

Alteration 1.
Technique: Removing all the people and activities and focusing on just one.

Potential design method: By "Limited Number of People" gives emphasis and benefits to certain amount of people and making the reciever feel honored as well as giving a little of intense and pressured feelings

The original capriccio depicts the atmosphere of hellish environmentbut gives the feeling of relief from the long and intense suffering. The diagrams on the right is showing the analysis of all the elements that has the potentials to become a design method mainly focusing on focal points and symbolism.

The Portico of the Queen of the Night

by 

Friedrich Schinkel

1781-1841

Alteration1.
Technique: Removal of all the foreground rocks and the background sky and reveal the stairs.
Potential design method: "Open up the space" gives the idea of welcoming but by making a dead end reduces the feeling of movement in space.

Diagrams showing the analysis of all the elements that has the potentials to become a design method mainly following the statement "About to enter a hidden portico that projects power but does not welcome nor wants to be found." from the original capriccio.

Alteration 2.
Technique: Desaturate the painting into greyscale in Photoshop
Potential design method: "Focal point Test" teaches me that our eyes are attract to difference, at the before  desaturating the painting, the moster would stand out to ur eyes due to its being out of place and its size. However when desaturated into grey scale,  Jesus attracts ur eye dues to him being brighter than other areas.

Alteration 3.
Technique: Adding rays of light from the open door.
Potential design method: "Exaggeration" of the feeling of hope. By exaggeration you can make a boring object stands out from others.

Alteration 4.
Technique: Remove Jesus from the painting and making the devils close the door.
Potential design method: Study on the subject of "Symbolism" when you know something from ur experience or know the source of something that symbolizes the others will make you know or can guess what will be happening next. 

Alteration 5.
Technique: Trying to make many focal points in one painting
Potential design method: By "Making Many Focal Points" in a space will make a person take more time to investigate and stay in the area longer or even stop with shock.

Alteration 2.
Technique: Changing the perspective and viewpoint into the inside of the portico using 3D modeling  in Rhinoceros.
Potential design method: "Interaction" by taking viewers to the inside of the space and making them actually touch it will soften the feeling of being a restricted area.

Alteration 3.
Technique: Toning the coloring in areas the are hit by light to the same part as the shadowed with photoshop.
Potential design method: "Removal of Light" by just removing light, it makes the area more hidden and even seems like location change and it also gives a feeling of unreachable.

Alteration 4.
Technique: Taking away the object of focus, the portico, to let us be more concern about the surrounding.
Potential design method: "When in Darkness" or dim light your other senses rather than sight will function better, so you will inspect the surround by touching or hearing as you walk through a space.

Alteration 5.
Technique: Adding tourist with digital camera.
Potential design method: "Tourists" in general reduces the feeling of unknown and unfound but the digital camera can alter the experience we create and could also takes that experience elsewhere. so if the space does not allow recording device, we can only felt the feeling of that space by going there.

Alteration 6.
Technique: Open up the space and adding many ordinary people walking up the stairs.
Potential design method: "Seeing Partially" of the back or places we are going to will increase our speed of walking because we get the anticipation.
