Andrew Weetman: May 2013

Article mashup

We must go back to a point where architects took responsibility for rhetoric, for how their buildings communicated intentionally, how “decorum” and bien-s ́eance were consciously achieved. Presented through an abstract system of relations, between all parts of the building, an architect’s primary role is to express the meanings a culture finds significant, as well as elucidate certain ideas and feelings that haven’t previously reached expression, an art made by all for all. aspired to be a paradigm of the classic, of that which is timeless, meaningful, and true. Each “piece” in the line is fully resolved and tends to disappear or, better yet, to dissolve formally in the assembly. This is the architect’s job and pleasure, not, let us hope, ever again his “problem.”

"Constant movement from internal to external environments encourages the development of creativity outside of convention"

18 Axonometrics

Top, Alternating between Daniel Libenskind and Hans Scharon respectively, from Left to Right

- Disorientation creates precise openings and skewed paths of light.

-Layers disorientate the distinction between foreground and background.

-An iconic and unprecedented architecture that converges surrounding spaces.

-The play between mass and void liberates the interior and exterior.

-The absence of discernable sides creates an architecture that is experienced from all angles of the exterior equally.

- Kinks in layers and the breaking of repetition breaks open the solid and liberates the interior and exterior

Bottom, developed from a combination of the smaller monuments above, from Left to Right

-Layering combined with disorientation creates a large solid entity that where details are easily distinguished.

-Careful negotiation and consideration of the impact and interruptions caused by built forms creates an architecture dictated by blurring surrounding spaces and the spaces inside the architecture.

- Constant movement from internal to external environments encourages the development of creativity outside of convention.

Final Sketchup Monument

36 Textures

Chosen Textures

Light: Lines trace though the texture on a macro scale, and on the building, theses lines will be traced bouncing over surfaces. They can be followed over walls and will facilitate further understanding of the architecture.

Medium: When placed over a surface, this texture will give a woven appearance. The highly integrated concepts of the architects shown in physical form by the monument, will be reinforced by an interconnected surface aesthetic

Dark: A heavy, disorientated hatch, with highlighted elements, or routs though the lines symbolized varying thought processed. It is designed to be reminiscent of a circuit board, and the path of electricity.

The monument is split by contrasting routing over the internal, external structures. The setting on a steep cliff, polarizes the foreground and background. The combination of the routing and the impressive sitting encourages creativity outside the realms of the monumentalised concepts.

Routing through the Daniel Libenskin monument involves movement through and around blocks. As you travel down the monument, you pass through blocks three times, but spend the majority of time on the outside. This encourages creativity to be generated by 'pulling' the concept into a new form.

The routing through the Hans Scharoun monument involves the movement over two levels on the interior of the blocks. This encourages creativity to be generated by integral knowledge of the concept, rather then admiration. Creativity is generated by 'pushing' the concept into a new form.
