i like these buildings/envelopes



1 comment:

  1. A: The Nelson-Atkins Museum

    1. Chose for translucence, elegance, and relationship to site and existing building
    2. I intend to explore the wall system
    3. We need to deal with light and privacy in shipping container architecture

    B: Tate Modern Expansion

    1. Chose for presence, alternative use of brick, relationship to existing building
    2. I intend to explore brick as a novel envelope
    3. When altering containers, there are many opportunities to use brick to achieve the transformation

    C. Thorncrow Chapel

    1. Presence, structural celebration, disappearance/minimization of envelope, relationship to site
    2. Structure as design as form, transformative power of tectonic realization
    3. To use structure as a way to change the experience of shipping container spaces and forms
