mash-up

Careful planning and systematic execution, such as listening to the figure and paying attention to the details,people, nature and materials, allow architecture to achieve a state of platonic grandeur, mathematical order, speculation and harmony, even in basic geometric.The problem of the house is the problem of the epoch. The equilibrium of society depends upon it. Architecture has for its first duty, in this period of renewal, that of bringing about a revision of values, a revision of the constituent elements of the house.The design of complex, complicated or a family of products is usually beyond the intuitive skills alone of a designer or design team.

2 SHORT TEXTS DESCRIBING THE ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPTS

The two architects I investigated were Frank Lloyd Wright and Aires Mateus.

Similar to Frank Lloyd Wright's <fallingwater>, I made my architecture be part of the environment,with a big waterfall right next to it,and stream of the waterfall will fall through the void space of the architecture.The surfaces around the void space are covered with light,medium and dark three textures to reinforce the sense of inflexion.The vertical beam stands straight up on the mountain while the light texture matches the colour of the snow around the waterfall mountain.(Somehow the waterfall looks a little bit grey.......)

On the meanwhile,Aires Mateus uses "substraction" a lot in his designs and he makes them as aliens to the surroundings.Same as my architecture,standing above the water, covering with pure white materials at the most outer surface being an alien to the natural environment.

There is a meeting space connecting these two architectures together,natural materials are used only.This road is extended from the mountain to the water,this open space will relax all the people coming here as they can view waterfall at the front ,trees on the montain and two architectures arond.

Captures of the environment and the link to the cryengine environment

Unfortunatelately,after my capturing the pictures of the environment, I failed to save the final version of the environment to my usb(As I worked at the computer at red centre lab and I save all my work in that computer.Somehow it restarted and I lost my file.)
But the link below will leads to the second last version............:(
