Article MashUp

Light to dark to light our senses soar, we refuse the distinctions between concept and percept in a time of perpetual brightness. My bridge would become a nirvana of black darkness wherein people started coordinating their very relationship with the sun, and how their lives might function within this environment. Architect’s daily struggle to cope with the labyrinth of the concept of space is made a little easier after the studies of engineering and the successful testing of concrete and steel. The experience of architecture automatically closes without engineers and this technology in the industry. Viewed from a distance, my project serves a duality of purpose, to necessitate a new architecture of tranquil relaxation but also facilitate the realization of engineering’s impact upon magnificence. I would like to propose that the future of architecture lies in the construction of events.

Final Submission

Following on my electroliquid aggregation of two concepts from class to create "Individual entities provide harmonious moments of viewing architecture" I developed a SketchUp model that fosters this idea of having different spaces to view the architecture, leading to a heightened appreciation of the monuments. Moreover, I wanted to appropriately represent the architects in a distinctive yet respectful manner between an intimate meeting place. For Hans Scharoun, I wanted the space the be secure yet still connected the the exterior landscape, much like his Schminke House.  Contrastingly, for Daniel Libeskind's monument I wanted to mimic his control of the viewer's movement and emotions within his architecture, such as in his Jewish Museum in Berlin. The bridge monument kindles a feeling of uneasiness and obstruction within the architecture students, high above the sea below.

5 Real Time Image Captures

The dark night sky allows the contrasting white and black forms of the textures to become intrinsic to the surface of the monuments.

Detailed entrance from Libeskind's monument into the intimate meeting space of the structure. The bridge monument is cut in random directions to contribute to the feelings of uneasiness whilst on the monument.

The walkway that protudes from the centre of the meeting place allows for another harmonious viewpoint of the monuments. Moreover is acts a metaphorical and physical middle ground for the structure between the monuments.

Hans Scharoun's monument connecting onto the landscape, mimicing the manner in which the Schminke House blurs the boundary between interior and exterior spaces.

Textures applied to model

Light texture

Light web-like texture added to Libeskind's monument and surrounding detailing. The jagged nature of the texture contributes to the feelings of insecurity amongst the architecture students.

Medium Texture

Medium texture applied to most the the structure. Reduced to a small size the dotted texture blends into a matte surface on the monuments.

Dark Texture

The dark texture is applied to the datum surface acting as a circulation guide for the architects.

Electroliquid Aggregations

Kinks in layers emerges into a network of disoriented movement.

Individual entities provide harmonious moments of viewing architecture.

The rest of the public creates an unsettling experience.
