ELECTROLIQUID AGGREGATION


Anti-Volume ( Kengo Kuma) 
Reducing a building to its absolute, bare and necessary elements & in doing so achieving a degree of transparency and material expressiveness. 

Metabolism (Kenzo Tange, rephrased)
 Architecture as a balance of gender through brutalism (brute strength/structure) and ornament (delicacy/decoration).

RESULTING CONCEPT

The reduction of the built form to its raw and necessary elements to create an architecture that is honest and gender neutral. That is, where the structural and brute strength of elements is balanced by its ’natural ornamentation’- found in a materials delicate tactile and tangible qualities.

Below are the chosen concepts to be reflected in the above 12 axonometrics (2 additional ones yet to be drawn)

KENGO KUMA

• Kuma uses a modular unit at a micro scale to evoke complexity and delicacy on a macro scale. 
• Anti-Volume: Reducing a building to it’s absolute, bare and necessary elements & in doing so achieving a degree of transparency and material expressiveness. 
• Defeated architecture is the co-existance of building and context. 
• The transition of space is fluid through the choice and composition of material that is sympathetic to the context.

KENZO TANGE

•  Architecture as a balance of gender through brutalism (brute strength/structure) and ornament (delicacy/decoration).
•  Open to biological growth through architecture and mass, i.e. the founding concept behind 'metabolism'.
•  Architecture as informed by the patterns of its inhabitants.
• Organisation of urban space through a civic axis - connecting the building and transportation in a linear fashion.
