the power of a campfire to engage a group of people around a myth is the concept for my narratorium. What is it about the campfire that lends it that quality? The light, warmth, dancing colors, the circular orientation of the participants, the way the background becomes a dark void? With this spatial study, I am begining to investigate these qualities in an architectural expression. Here, the background is framed by wooden slats, which reference the forest beyond the campfire circle and the ambiguous nature of the backdrop. A skylight would project a spot of light in the center of the floor.

for the record:
Think about making the surround wall uneven in texture to absorb sound and give interesting shadows that can help set the atmosphere similar to a fire flickering shadows on trees.
Ask yourself if the perfect horizon line is appropriate. A line draws attention. The idea is to be background so that the attention can be directed towards the glow, right? Perhaps the tops a warped and bend where ever they naturally want to go. Some may curve overhead causing the space to be closed in a bit. That would help keep the setting more intimate & natural and less "sterile".
