molly's arch1101 blog : EXP2 The Space Between: Final submission

2 Concepts:

Libeskind: "An iconic and unprecedented architecture should be shared with the rest of the public realm, to act as a catalyst and converge surrounding public spaces"

Sharoun: "Kinks in layers and the breaking of repetition breaks open the solid, and liberates the spaces"

Resultant electroliquid aggregation: "An iconic architecture is composed of kinks and layers that break open a solid, thus liberating the space to create a public realm that can be shared"

1. View from the Liebskind monument's side - Texture applied: Light

The light texture is applied to the central block of the Liebskind monument. The tree-like pattern is used to blend into the surrounding foliage and complement the landscape. The lightness of the texture reflects both natural and artifical light, highlighting the block and works together with the others to create an open space to be shared.

2. View from rocky cliff - Texture applied to Scharoun monument: Medium

The medium texture applied to the Scharoun monument block is rough and jagged, evoking the landform it rests upon - the rocky cliff. The lines are also straight and angular - relating to the electroliquid aggregation - where kinks/layers break open a solid. This certain block is also the opened up walkway, thus is a broken up solid of liberated space.

3. View from meeting place, facing Scharoun monument - Texture applied: Dark

The dark texture is applied to one of the largest (in cross sectional area) blocks and is used to draw responders' attention to the angular geometry of the block, which unlike the others, is not at 90 degrees. This is used to indicate a breaking up of repetition to allow a more liberated space, thus inviting the exchange of ideas and inspiration at the monument.
