Exp 2: The Marker
Concepts
Frank Lloyd Wright:
*
His use of solid prisms which intersect each other to create a visually
interesting and balanced overall structure
* His use of patterns in details such as windows and bricks/stones/walls
* Sharp geometries; the use of hard angles and straight lines that accentuate the corners
* A repetition of shapes and angles in the one building, creating a theme for each structure
* When broken down, Wright's structures are often comprised as stacked prisms
* Straight lines and hard angles lead the viewers eye around the building, creating a visual journey
* Most of his building, especially the Prairie houses, feel stable and grounded. He achieves this through the angular, straight architecture and his use of materials
* Going off the previous point, there is an immense sense of weight to a lot of his structures, giving them a monumental quality

Fujimoto:
* Fujimoto often repeats geometries throughout his structure
* His buildings give off a feeling of incompletion
* Many of his structures resemble a wireframe you might see in a digital model, giving it a skeletal, bare feeling
* Fujimoto, like Wright, stacks prisms and geometries to generate forms
* Due to the bare feel of the structures they often feel fragile
* There is an organic feeling of growth juxtaposed with man-made materials and geometries
* The light feeling of the structures have an atmospheric quality

Joint concept: A combination of
Fujimoto's skeletal wires used to emulate the organicity of
growth, heavily contrasting the
solidness and undeniable weight explored by Frank Lloyd Wright.

three images
Creative Piece:
This is a picture of sheep that I painted when I was 12.
I sort of got lazy in high school and didn't really explore my creative side until recently. Nevertheless, I still find that this one painting's better than any of the random doodles that I've pulled out in the past few months.
How 'bout that.
Great piece of architecture:
Cloud Forest in Singapore
If the Hanging Gardens of Babylon was condensed into a 42 metre tall structure with different themed levels in an extremely large garden/park in Singapore, it'd end up like this. I've never been though, just experienced it in the third person through a friend who spent half an hour showing me pictures of it.
Original photograph:
I didn't have to go far to find something beautiful; this is the forest outside my house, as well as the reason why my street has no odd numbered houses.
I moved to my current house 14 years ago, when there were still empty plots of land in the street and the park down the road nonexistent.
The trees weren't as tall then, and I even got to help council workers plant new ones; this forest's played a small part in raising me, and vice versa.
