EXP 2: The Space Between.

Architectural Concepts

Hans Scharoun:

Kinks in layers and the breaking of repetition opens the solid, and liberates the spaces.

Daniel Libeskind:

The angular exists in contrast to the monolithic, revealing precise openings and skewed paths of light.

Electroliquid Aggregation

Monolithic forms can be broken by angular geometries and kinks in layers, revealing an open meeting space for the exchange of contemporary architectural ideas.

A pathway circulates through the scenery from the bottom level, through a darkened tunnel populated by a disturbing sculptural piece, a piece tinged blood red and covered in violent graphics, up to the higher level, where students are welcomed by a clean, guiding path to a free and open meeting space.

Libeskind's massive, daunting monument is liberated by an amalgamation of finer, angled forms. This liberation of space allows architecture students to gather and exchange ideas in an open atmosphere. Juxtaposed with changing light, the architecture itself becomes the nexus through which a perspectival lens is cast upon form, stimulating creativity through cast shadows on the landscape and the structure itself.

Students follow a path that snakes up and towards Scharoun and Libeskind's structure, surrounded on one side by rushing rapids, on the other by a vertical drop to rapids below. Carved out of the natural landform, the path provides a significant and memorable entrance by adopting an 'incan-esque' grand stepped rise to the monument at the top.
