Concepts

Zaha Hadid: Spaces created by the funnelling of movement and communication
Norma Merrick Sklarek: Architecture should be functional and pleasant, not just in the image of the ego of the architect
Electroliquid aggregration: Architecture, created by the funnelling of movement and communication, serve as functional yet dynamic spaces.

Screenshots of the Monuments

5 Screenshots to be marked

A birds eye view of the landform and monuments


The meeting place for the students and the jetty


Norma Merrick Sklareks monument. I have used simple boxes to create the monument to make it 'functional and pleasant'. The circulation within the monument is also simple, and the majority of space is accessible so that it serves a purpose for visitors and not just made 'in the image of the ego of the architect.


Zaha Hadids Monument. I have repeatedly used tunnel-like structures to communicate 'the funnelling of movement' as tunnels a typically made purely to travel from one point to another, as opposed to spending extended time in.


A side view of Hadids monument. Wooden panels have been constructed and layered to extend this tunnel motif.

Developed Sketchup Model

View of the entire building.

The showroom. Stradivaris showroom is above, and Kimuras showroom is below. There are stairs behind the building to connect both rooms.

A section cut of Kimuras showroom, made up of the stair, 3 workrooms, 2 storage rooms and a practice area (far left).

Stradivaris Studio

Closeup of Stradivaris studio. The top floor is a practice area, imitating a concert hall. Each room below is for a separate string instrument (violin, viola, cello, double bass).
