[EXP2 FINAL] Recall of architectural concepts + short description

Recall:

2 Architectural concepts + description:

Lebbeus Woods - Disregarding ground plane, defying gravity: 

- Lebbeus Woods is famous for his surrealist and experimental approach towards architectural design. Most of his designs are unrealistic, yet giving us a sense of possible reality. Therefore, I try to design an unrealistic monument for Woods. For this monument, the concept of gravity is rejected, which aims to give viewers a sense of surrealism.

SANAA - Fluidity of space, circulation:

- SANAA's architectural designs are more about aestheticism, simplicity and unclear space. Therefore, for the SANAA's monument, i try to present a sense of aestheticism through the curvilinear shape of the monument. Also, the ring of this monument is connecting the Woods monument without any physical contact. This design approach to give a sense of unclear space between the monuments to the viewers.

Combined new Architectural concept: 

Fluidity of form and space through the rejection of gravity

Stairs connecting the transparent corridor of the monument

The two monuments are connected to each other, but not touching each other.  From this angle, a sense of space can be perceived inside the half-floating ring of the SANAA monument, which depicts the concept of flexibility of space through defying gravity.

Here is an illusion that the two monuments are touching each other. In fact, they are connected without any physical contact.  This design is to emphasize the fluidity of form, as the illusion blurs the true form of the monuments, causing the monuments to look like a single structure. (Same texture is used for both monuments on this side to enhance the illusion)

The rejection of gravity is manifested through the hanging part of the Lebbeus Woods monument. The differently-sized ponds echo the half-hanging ring of the SANAA monument, depicting the fluidity of space.
