Joseph Stones House

Stills from Joseph Stones House

Been working with Joe Gilmore on a new film commisioned by Allen Tod Architects for the upcoming Architecture Week events.


Over the period of a single day we took over three thousand photographs from mutiple perspectives, on a series of circumnavigated walks around Joseph Stones House, a new student halls of residence in Leeds town centre. With the images we were able to produce a 10 minute chronological video of the building and its surrounding environment. We then took the colour pattern which has been designed into the window scheme and used it as a score in a custom made patch using Max/MSP.


Our software then edited the film making pre defined edits and alterations controlled by the arrangement of colours in our code, ostensibly getting the building to edit its own film.
The results will be played at 3pm on Saturday 17 june at the Architecture Week launch event in Leeds, to an accompanying soundtrack 'Breezeblock' performed live by the Composers Ensemble under the direction of Didrik Ingvaldsen.
Joe has put some stills from the film up at his flickr page.
