The architecture is related to Luis Bagarran and Toyo Ito's design and concepts. Each element was developed reflecting this and the theme that I chose: sustainability. So I put together their ideas with some sustainable solutions, such as the Green Facade, which recaptures Toyo Ito's facades style, through the use of glass in different shapes. Luis Barragan's style is also highlighted through maintaining right angles. The stop was developed according to the concept: "Incorporates nature with the building, bringing a union between fixed and fluid." The choice of wood and plants emphasize this concept, as well as the shape of the structure and walkways generated from the position of the seats, which is fluid. Based on the concept developed from the architect Luis Barragan - "Create a philosophical experience through the manipulation of natural and artificial lighting." - I decided to keep the rectilinear shape, which is typical of his archite...

Form and idea evolution This project was selected by Karen (my tutor) as a positive example for this exercise. She has mentioned it in the feedback sheet given to the class. See what she has written below: Due to the success of this form and idea evolution, the rating for this experiment was a High Distinction, as well as the rate for the experiment 1 exercise.

From light to dark  Textures chosen for the project:

Week 1: Axonometrics Concepts: 1. Incorporates nature with the construction, bringing a relationship between fluid and fixed; 2. The use of colours and textures; 3. The use of right angles/rectilineous lines; 4. Seamless communication between public and private spaces through the use of glass and fluid shapes; 5. Create a philosophical experience through the manipulation of natural and artificial lighting; 6. Find inspiration in wind, air and nature; Week 2: Interconnection between Axos AXOS 1 + 5 = AXOS 3 + 6 = AXOS 2 + 4 = Lumion Environment
