huw: Final Architecture.

Ariel perspective

Left Mies inspired concept of how a minimalist approach to achieve purpose and focus on functionality + right MVRDV inspired concept of how elevating and cantilevering structures to access unattained space.

Functional space can be attained through elevating and cantilevering structure, while its functional purpose can be achieved through a minimalist approach.

Front entrance - Mies Inspired Monument

Architect students and alike enter the front pavilion. Inspired by Mies Van Der Rohe's the first monument architecture is formed from the concept of a minimalist approach to achieve purpose and focus on functionality. Both materiality and formation have are designed to reflect a minimalist approach, emphasising spaces through stone and concrete longs planes and a blurring between interior and exterior form.

MVRDV Inspired Overhanging Monument

A design strategy was to control the use of the artisan tool. It was important not to compromise design simplicity with complication of the irregular shapes created by arisen. Both Mies Van Der Rohe and the Dutch based architecture company MVRDV heavily focus their architectural strategies around rectangular and geometrical structure. The artisan tool has been used in a way to depict reflection and contrast between organic and the man made in architecture. How architecture should compliment the landscape, not create it.

Applying Custom Textures + Added Details

In this image 2 custom textures have been applied - the Dark texture (seen left centre) and the Medium texture (seen as the tiled flooring of the pool on the right)

This images also displays new details added from the original sketch up and axonometric models. I have detailed a centralised pool running along the adjoining pavilion between the two monuments. The idea is derived from the combined concept again reflecting the minimalist approach and cantilevering and elevating plans.
