EXP 2 FINAL SUBMISSION

Electroliquid Aggregation

The blurring of boundaries between small and monumental elements from disorientation sparks the development of broader minded perspectives, allowing people from different backgrounds to understand each other better. 

18 Axonometrics 

Concepts for Ricardo Porro (Left Column):

1) Horizontality vs Verticality

2) Absence of Distinct Orientation

3) Heavy, homogenous frames as 

    indeterminate outlines of space

Concepts for Aldo Van Eyck (Middle Column) 

1) Displacement of different forms to create light and shadow.

2) Modularity blurring the distinction between small and monumental.

3) Unity and Harmonisation of overlapping geometry.

Electroliquid Aggregations (Right Column) 

1)  horizontal displacement and expansion of different verticality forms creates a space that is playful in light and shadow. 

2) The blurring of boundaries between small and monumental elements from disorientation sparks the development of broader minded perspectives, allowing people from different backgrounds to understand each other better.

3) The interplay between overlapping geometry and indeterminate outlines of space reminds of the importance of unity and harmony in our opinions and actions.

36 Textures 

Chosen Textures

 Light: This swirling, curving pattern can be seen in the circulation of the monument. Initially confusing, it encourages us to persevere and think more openly.

Medium: Used to define the meeting space, the alternation between blanks squares and dark squares and between horizontal and vertical lines suggest that a fusion may eventually take place (like ideas).











Dark: This texture was initially a set of interlocking zigzags and was inspired by the inseparability of black from white. It is applied only at the extremities of the monuments when viewed from different perspectives.

The monuments are situated on a lake at the edge of the surrounding mountains. 

Visitors must take the ramp at the bottom in order to get to the "meeting point". 

Not evident from the previous image, the path is guided by the geometry of the first monument. This disorientation tests the patience of the visitors..

 The vertical beam is the part of the 2nd monument and encloses a set of stairs which lead to the highest level.

This is the most extreme point, where we are closest to physically "touching" the landscape but the balcony prevents us from going further. However the shadow could be seen as having already achieved this, and we are reminded of the beauty of nature by the waterfall.

Use of the space at nighttime. The stairs reaching the meeting point are not visible from all sides whilst the stairs in the vertical beam are completely concealed. 

 

 Detail: 

These two curved benches are supposed to embrace one another, to encourage the exchange of ideas.
