Concept 1: Holistic use of singular material heightens sense of monumentality
Concept 2: Horizontal and low scale of the building complements the discreteness and invisibility of the architecture.
Electroliquid Aggregation: The horizontal quality and low scale blends into the environment, putting emphasis on and heightening the monumental components.
1/ The architecture sits atop a waterfall, bridging the two sides with a low, thin meeting space. From a distance, this horizontal element is almost invisible and is anchored by the two monuments on either side.
2/ The void cut highlights the natural landscape below with the rushing waterfall, and further integrates the architecture into the landscape.
4/ The thin, delicate elements (Kuma) work with the bulks of mass (Aalto) to provide visual conflict and variation. They cut through each other on both sides to show the merging of concepts and architects.

Edit: OOPS I labelled it wrong. It should read Experiment 2, not Assignment 1... you can blame BENV1080 for that. I'll fix it later........
Edit 2: I'm not sure if it's necessary to explicitly note this, but just in case...

The trees being taller than the building really work to emphasise the horizontality of the building.
ReplyDeleteSimilarly, the use of minimal materials emphasises the vastness of scale.
Nice work :)
The building really works with the environment, especially the 3rd one down from the left.
ReplyDeleteI think you should have made the size of the textures bigger so it's more obvious.
Maybe you could have taken screenshots of the other times of the day? It might have a different effect in its appearance?
Overall, I really like how your whole environment and building fits exactly to the concept/ electro aggregation! :)
