Model Massing


 
 
 


The design attempted to utilise the core concepts and metaphor by replicating monuments. Monuments are a visual representation of sensory isolation placed in a central position of sensory stimulation. The monument is used to represent 'something' which is basically a negative space in a central positive stiumlating place like a park, walkway, gardens etc. Examples of this fact which i drew direct inspiration were Soviet Yugoslavian Monuments which were placed in parks and significant areas of Yugoslavia. They are a perfect examplar of the metaphor and the core concepts of sensory isolation v. sensory stimulation.














The point of chosing these specific monuments instead of going local or choosing well known war monuments is that these have a more architectural ideal to them. They are aesthetically pleasing utiliarianism is unique and seem so foreign and different when compared to what our ideas of what monuments should look like. The model massing attempted to emulate this idea, the site is aesthetically pleasing. The building should not retract from the location and add to it both aesthetically and ergonomically.
