exp2: cryengine environment (final)

this monument can be used as a design studio or an office. it is located on the top of a cliff, next to a waterfall. the idea of the design is to make this piece of architecture a part of landscape. this monument is facing the ocean, and balustrades are made in glass. on the back of the monument, there is a staircase goes under to access the lake, for people to take a swim.

there are 5 images of my monument taken from a distance.

the groups of architectural computing students, engineering students and architectural studies student will meet up on the coast, they will be able to see the monument stands on the cliff not far away.

the image above was the back view of the monunment, which was shot on the cliff,the monunent was designed to be a part of landscape. 

it is the side view, the monument was located next to a lake.

this is the night view, couples of blue lights have been set up under the water and  the floor of the monument.

here are some closer views:

exp2: ELECTRO LIQUID AGGREGATION

here is my chosen model, and developed in google sketchup.

i combined the two monuments above together.

the original two concepts of Walter Burley Grinffin's design are:

1.Geometry—making use of the natural environments geometry in designing the planning of both Canberra and Castlecrag.

2.Group of buildings faced one another to give that sense of separation and administrative zones.
and according to Walter Burley Grinffin's quote:
Griffin predicted the need for urban planning to be flexible to meet the demands of growth and changing needs over time. Griffin said that:

‘Any arrangement looking forward one hundred years has to be elastic, permitting street improvements and construction to proceed little by little, no faster than the city growth demands, but at the same time in a way that will be adequate ultimately without the constant shifting of site uses in the various sections, which has led to terrific waste through destruction of property in all our cities heretofore.’ (Birrell, 1964, p.75)

 i came up a new concept:

"exploring the relationship between nature environment and city function by create the sence of seperation and corporated to landscape."

group of building facing each other + design with landscape










                                                       

rectangular geometrical properties + the use of light

privacy + open to the nature
