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.

Inside the structure showing how the actual building looks like and a small understanding on how the skin and moving element works

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.

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.
