Experiment 3
Article Mash-up
Mash-up:
A piece of architecture isn’t meant to be overcomplicated,
rather simple and elegant. When a space is over cluttered, it prohibits a
person from thinking, acting and interacting freely with others and the
surrounding environment. A structure should be stripped down to its fundamental
elements with spiritual, religious or esthetical goals in mind. The purpose of
this to explore the fundamentals of space, light and materiality. This style or
architecture thrives on simplicity in both content and form, allowing the
viewer to experience the work more intensely. Another key aspect of this style
of architecture is how the work interacts with the surrounding environment, and
how the structure contributes to the appearance of it. The structure is meant
to shift the focus off itself and onto the surrounding environment; the piece
of architecture would act as an eyebrow on a face, rather then main features.
