Task 1 - Arch1101

CREATE:  
This is a montage I made last semester which I placed in the setting of Frank LLoyd Wrights "Falling Water". I attempted to replace the building with a more transparent and natural one while the theme of falling water was still apparent.






             


















ARCHITECTURE:
























The ten meter edifice is made from 100 stacked layers of weathered steel plates, placed to allow visitors to almost walk through the walls. One's perception of the church depends entirely on physical perspective: from one spot the structure appears to be a traditional church building, yet a few steps away the seemingly solid walls disintegrate before one's eyes. An equally confounding image results from looking out to the landscape from inside the church, nature becoming defined and spliced by the abstract lines of the church's architecture.






I saw this tree on my gap year and loved the concept of the unknown. The setting and atmosphere outside is definitely not beautiful but to be able to escape from that completely while still being outdoors is.
