Experiment Two

Kenjo Kuma - architecture as a frame for nature
Kisho Kurakawa - Architectural impermanence as a challenge to the idea of monuments

Axonometrics










Textures 

The textures were designed to assimilate the ideals behind each monument which can be seen in the framing nature of one half and the heavy and light aspect in the other.






Textures for materials




The textures chosen were a mix of medium tones which correlates to design of the monuments as a combined singularity.

Lumion Model





 The space between was developed to be precarious to suit the curvilinear monument as well as light to suit the frame for nature as it allows direct engagement with the enviroment
  The rectilinear monument designed for framing nature can be seen to do so through the many rectangular and cubic voids in each element.


 The curvilinear monument reflects the idea of architectural impermanence as it is located precariously in its environment providing an unstable nature. The constantly changing environment and erosion and weathering will inevitably change and move the monument over time.
