THE SPACE BETWEEN

THE SPACE BETWEEN
Design Studio 1: Experiment 2
THE CONCEPTS
Antoni Gaudi

1. Imagination confined within the rules.
2. Regular shapes projected in an irregular way.
3. An artist must obey creation. Reconcile architecture and nature. Write a story about the land.
4. A transcendental form which arouses faith, belief and hope.
5. Gaudi's emotional treatment of material and structure give expression to natural forms in architecture.
6. "spatial uncertainty, concept of structures with limitless space; its feeling of sequence, fragmented with holes and partitions, which create a divide without disrupting the feeling of openspace by enclosing it with barriers"

Coop Himmelb(l)au

1. Surreal curvature of construction exceeding the boundaries of expectation.
2. Basic shapes tilted and slanted within the landscape so that it appears to defy the laws of physics.
3. Embrace of imbalance, distortion, fragmentation and chaos.
4. Structures are not fixed realities but shells for intervention.
5. Extolled the virtues of an architecture: "that bleeds, exhaust that turns or even breaks."
6. "Plenum (a space completely filled with matter). Places of Power"
7. "reflects and gives a mirror image of variety and vivaeilty, tension and complexity of our cities"
8. "architecture of clouds"

THE LANDFORM

THE IMAGE CAPTURES AND ARCHITECTURE 

"Transcendental shell, which arouses faith and hope, with space resulting in intervention"

The form displayed envelops the very essence of the concept of "arousal of faith". The tall structure portrays this through the allusion of uplifting your head to view the structure in the same way that one may pray to god.

The space where the monument is placed, is secluded and it becomes the focal point of the area, it doesn't not subtract but compliments the environment which it is placed giving the intense feel of serenity and relaxation.

The transcendental shell which cantilevers off the platform, develops the sense that the structure hangs in balance of structural tension and form. This space created by the shell develops a space that is separate yet still very much apart of the surrounding environment.
