Electro-liquid aggregation

Thinking about the relationship between two contrasting pieces of architecture Reminded me heavily of the conclusions you would come to if you were to analyse to cultures trying to understand each other, in that while both may have varying differences and different methods to overcome certain problems, it's important to remember that the issues one another face are for the most part the same. Which is why my Electro-liquid aggregation is

Culture of Contrast

Exp 2, 5 screenshots

The first detail on Toyo Ito's segment of the monument, used to highlight deatil 2 (the ramp) as a primary means of accessing the monument, rather than this opening, by making it seem less accessible while still keeping the subtracted feel and still being accessible

The third detail, the frame forces the viewer/patron to walk around Carlo Scarpa's monument segment on this ledge to gain access to the inside, where they then see Toyo Ito's segment framed in a way in which parts of the geometry is obscured and replaced by the frame

Emphasis was put on the relation between the lighting depending on the time of day not just between day and night, in the afternoon the monument segment is almost derived of natural light

The idea that a whole half of one of the monument segments would be tucked away and unable to be seen until you're inside the monuments lends itself well to "Culture of Contrasts" in that Publicity or visibility does not necessarily detract from the quality of a culture

The textures used intentionally attempt to indicate motion, the view out of the end of the monument reveals only the ocean indicating that the monument is more introspective and should serve more as frames for eachother
