Mechanical space

Mechanical space
Mechanics is one of the most important theories in physics. It is commonly used to describe the behavior of physical bodies when subjected to forces or displacements, and the subsequent effect of the bodies on their environment. This theory brings lots of advantages to our lives. For example, it allows us to construct buildings more efficiency and also with lower cost due to massively produced materials, less labors can be used during the construction process. For building construction, the mechanics is one of the most significant parts to be considered. Architects and engineers have to design the building or structural system under this theory. However, mechanization is closely related to functionalism. The approaches of mechanization is indeed practical, thus the forms of buildings are slowly simplified throughout the centuries. Most of the ornaments are seen as unnecessary, finally they are sacrificed under the mechanization. Modern buildings become more and more unsophisticated, simple lines and geometries are popular elements in constructing a building.
In my video, I would like to show the mechanized and dehumanized process of a city.
Originally, the city was full of different styles of buildings and appeared to be colorful, especially at night when the lights have been switched on. The atmosphere is cozy and full of richness. The personalities of each building are shown by different shapes, heights, materials and colors. Each building is to be constructed as a piece of unique sculpture. However, with the mechanization started in the city, the buildings gradually lose their identities. Eventually, the city is assimilated as the same style with the same color which appears to be boring and cold, also loses its identity. The robotic buildings are finally out of control, the whole city works as a huge machine which creates the atmosphere of sadness and emptiness.
