Mashup Article

Architecture is a broad, dichotomous umbrella comprising of traditional and contemporary designs. Traditional architecture has been publicized with an effort to maintain and preserve the essence of culture and history, yet with the transcendence of modern day perceptions and practice, it appears to serve its purpose as something akin to a prison in design and creativity. However, the prevalence of contemporary architecture increasingly avoids any criterion of quality that draws upon evolved precedent and tradition from a prior era. Encouraging the contemporary mindset would result in overlooking the existing built fabric of our cities, towns and villages, furthering the disdain of traditional cultures, and all that links a human being to his/her local history. With centuries of culturally-segregated history, we are rapidly losing our individualistic branches of heritage through contemporary architecture, where many current-day designers overstep boundaries and design what others would not dare, regardless of tradition. We are now taking a step away from tradition, perhaps leaving widespread damage in our wake as we pull ourselves toward a unified “culture” through contemporary design.

LUMION LECTURE

 Lecture theater looking outside landscape with glass surrounding.

Sendai Plans

Based on the Sendai , we can see that the walls around the lecture theatre will be similar to the Sendai framing which keeps the building up and allowing for the glass facade and have a view

Textures

1 Point and 2 Point Perspectives

FINAL Lumion Models with textures.

The final design of the model on Lumion includes the three textures that were chosen in the earlier posts. As the concept that was chosen was "Structures are not fixed realities but imagination confined within the rules", the land form has been incorporated to suit the monument following the concept of imaginations and realities. Although two concepts juxtapose each other, they can been see as an imagination when it floats yet a reality as it can exist to the physics of cantilever with the rest of the land form.

Intial stages of Model on Lumion

Using model IMG1. I have incorporated the landscape for the model to hang out like a cantilever embracing the concept of imagination as it floats over the ocean as well as being a reality as it exists,

Sketchup Final model + Textures included

Combining

1. Structures are not fixed realities but imagination confined within the rules.

(Combination of IMG2 + IMG6)

 

2. Shapes imagined and projected in an irregular way.

 (Combination of IMG4+IMG6)

3. Imagination are shells for intervention.

EXPERIMENT 2 : Concepts

Antoni Gaudi

1. Imagination confined within the rules.
2. Regular shapes projected in an irregular way.
3. An artist must obey creation. Reconcile architecture and nature. Write a story about the land.
4. A transcendental form which arouses faith, belief and hope.
5. Gaudi's emotional treatment of material and structure give expression to natural forms in architecture.
6. "spatial uncertainty, concept of structures with limitless space; its feeling of sequence, fragmented with holes and partitions, which create a divide without disrupting the feeling of openspace by enclosing it with barriers"

Coop Himmelb(l)au

1. Surreal curvature of construction exceeding the boundaries of expectation.
2. Basic shapes tilted and slanted within the landscape so that it appears to defy the laws of physics.
3. Embrace of imbalance, distortion, fragmentation and chaos.
4. Structures are not fixed realities but shells for intervention.
5. Extolled the virtues of an architecture: "that bleeds, exhaust that turns or even breaks."

6. "Plenum (a space completely filled with matter). Places of Power"
7. "reflects and gives a mirror image of variety and vivaeilty, tension and complexity of our cities"
8. "architecture of clouds"

Preliminary Designs

These were my initial designs however the problem was that it looked too much like a residential house. Even so, it did get the ideas going for the stairs and how to place it.
