Landform + Final Tweaking

The Landform - Connecting Architecture and its Landform

It was important for this monument not to compliment the landform and not create it.

The low flat planes of the building as well as its length compliment the landscape, whilst it doesn't sit on top of the ground level but rather sits in it, which creates mimal distraction to the landscape as the eye height is the same as the ground level (ground floor) or the hilly horizon (first and higher floors)

Final Tweaking

After initially completely "organically" manipulating this entire second part of the monument through the idea of Electro-liquid aggregation, the final shape felt obscure from the concept... 

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

The design had veered away from its intended minimalist approach to achieve purpose in functional space. (from the picture below it seems evident that functional space and purpose could be attained from tried forms).

Rather than letting the random form from the Artisan tool take over the building, it seemed only right to control the organic form to contrast against but at the same time work with the minimalist approach, particularly through use of minimalist materials (concrete pavers) and the minimalist elevated and cantilevering planes.
