Combination of light to dark textures hand drawn and using photoshop to edit the gradients

3 pairs of parallel projections- 'Electroliquid Aggregation'

 

 'Electroliquid Aggregation':

 “Why still speak of the real and the virtual, the material and immaterial?

Here these categories are not in opposition, or in some metaphysical

disagreement, but more in an electroliquid aggregation, enforcing each

other, as in a two part adhesive.”

Lars Spuybroek, [1998] Motor Geometry, Architectural Design, Vol 68 No

Concepts for two architects

Peter Zumthor

“Architecture that lets me in peace”

“ The composition and the presence of the material.”

"Symbolic relationship with the natural environment."

“Phenomenology- An attention to the human experience o the space rather than simply it’s physicality to its environment.”

“Beauty doesn’t come out of the shape.”

“Sensitivity in spacial composition.”

"Concerned with but a tiny part of the infinity that surrounds the earth, and yet each and every building marks a unique place in that infinity."

“The use of materials found in the immediate environment to shape the architecture and create connections between the building and its context. “

Filipo Brunelleschi 

“Unorthodox methods to problem solving.”

“Opus spicatum style masonry dome.”

 “Perfect traditional architecture but not reproduce it.” (Architecture and engineering)

“The structural elements such as the columns and arches become the architecture.”

“Supreme use of geometry.”

“The artistic use of mathematical proportions.”

“Space which is spiritually uplifting”

“Strong understanding of the effects of  perspective to inform the architectural composition.” (For example entasis)
