Ewha Women's University Student Center: Dominique Perrault, Architect
Subterranean form- invisible- given way to a new cultural landscape
Le Fresnoy: Bernard Tschumi Architect
An anti-form born of site driven circumstances. Reuse of existing buildings combined under a unifying roof shelter: combining space, function and experience.
Architecture [what we might consider environmental design] requires a kind of pervasive permeability; a seamless relationship of the greater natural and constructed environments. Building must be an active participant in the environment in which it exists.
'Co-existent' architecture is against style- anti-form. Arguably, deconstructivism has uncovered what has become a need to reconnect the fragments of city/ place and a desire to go beyond formal design language and image; more specifically architectural 'style'. Outcomes predicated upon ideas and theories, extended to challenge the processes by which architecture is conceived. Our generation is challenged to take a step further in creating architectures which, in effect, are one with place; where form making is purely a product of analytic search and spatial necessity.
How might we go further to dissolve 'image making' in order to promote a seamless connection within the environment at large?
