EXP 3 SUBMISSION

Mashup

Those who look to the future understand architecture as a dynamic system of relationships. These relationships blur the distinctions between physical, natural and artificial. Such an interpretation calls for broader collaborations and a commitment to explorations outside established “comfort zones.” Too be able to leave this comfort zone its dependant of understanding materials and methods that will lead to advances in reinforced concrete design this will alter how the look of buildings look such as placing large glass surfaces to the south and using thick walls and often earth-integration resulting in a unique canvas for innovation in structural design and to be resource preserving as well as life enhancing.

Moving Objects

1. Moving Lift - From structure to folly
 A very simple up and down movement to the folly where the moving objects fits directly together with the folly

 2. Moving Shutter/ roof shades
As the overall structure uses a thick concrete skin some sort of ventilation of sunlight is needed, thus a moving shutter.

View from below - show how distinctively bold the overall structure seems like.

Folly, and the movement of the moving objects.

Overall shot - shows again its strong design on the outer.

Harau Valley

Conclusion - The way I considered my mash up was the a theory of a strong, blocky, harsh, simple and deceiving building that takes a non destructive approach to nature. As seen this look i think has been achieved through a thick concrete skin surrounding the school that is embedded into the valley.

Final Lumion Design

Kengo Kuma - Light and Transparency
  This monument is built to define the concept of light and transparency through a slightly minimal design, which in effect allows an open overall look where is transparency is further reinforced through the hollow like nature of the monument. This hollow nature of the building further effects how it may be seen through different times of the day and position effecting its overall transparent look.

 Kisho Kurokawa - Idea of Growth and Repitition
  Growth if displayed through the positioning of the monument almost as if it was carved out the the surroung rocks and also the increasing size growth of each "block". Also the Repetition in reinforced through the repeated use of these "block" that lead upwards to the connection/bridge.

 The Bridge/Connection
  Here the two differing concepts between Kengo and Kisho unite through the manner of creating a bridge like connection which can lead people to a continuous flow from one to another where although it isn't a flawless connection the concepts unite by drawing people to either sides due to its design.
