Title:
The Spark of Inspiration
Name: Omer Bayramoglu
Voiceover: Omer Bayramoglu
Sound: "Dark Was The Night, Cold Was The Ground" by Blind Willie Johnson, 1928.
Without bricks, an arch cannot be made, but an arch is nothing more than bricks.
Materials and site elements have desires, desires they want to express. So do humans who coexist with architecture. When site elements and the desires of humans are harmonious, inspiration is born. When a space facilitates the key desires of humans, it inspires use within the human, incepting an idea of use, of how that space could be used.
The four elements on Compass Point in Bude, Cornwall, all have desires they want to express. They want to be used, they want to express how and why they were built. But, they cannot do so until the spark of inspiration is set. For that to happen, the elements and the humans’ desires must converge into spaces. Only then can the elements inspire use in people.
A symbol of the town wants to gather people, a rock which was once a chapel wants to inspire individual rituals, stone arches and their lobster traps and campfires want people to learn, and a colonnade of rocks wants people to venture out. Once their interconnected inspirational, muse-like qualities are acknowledged and acted upon can they be in harmony with people
