Submission: Concepts

Peter Stutchbury:
1. A mix of formality and informality

è Leads to blurring of spaces

è Framing of nature

The unification of inside and out by blurring the definition of windows and doors

2. Use of thin materials to minimise the distinction between the constructed and the natural world (mention view/visual)

3. The effect of time on natural light, thus the shadows

4.  A play of natural lighting through slits in the walls and roof

(connected to linking nature and building)

Kazuo Shinohara:

1. Creates an illusion of large space in his building using high walls and single elements which stands out visually from the ground floor

2. Use of logical shape to create illogical (non-straight line) movement

3. He likes his buildings to be incomplete, like artpieces.

4. Works on the boundary of chaos (city) and order architecture.

5. Progressive anarchy

Beauty of chaos

Appreciation of chaos

Structured chaos

6. Mode of living and traditional structure

Looks like the building’s skeleton

The skeleton is the part of the building that is playing the structural role
