5 Final Image Captures:

The bridge mainly uses the colour white, because the colour ‘white’ has connotations to purity and elegance yet simple which suit my ‘theory’. Also, the bridge is not overloaded with objects, while maintaining consistent throughout because my ‘theory’ also stated “Removing all the clutter…and the messiness, and the inconsistency, and the imbalance, just to reveal an underlying structure, and an order… and a calm centered piece. So keeping everything in its most simple and purest form is one of the key factors in my ‘theory’.

In my design of the bridge I have included a lot of tall windows which occupy the whole height of the floor because in the ‘theory’ I created with my mash-up, daylight is a highly cost effective means of reducing energy for electrical lighting, and by using large windows the bridge will be able to get more sunlight in the interior of the bridge.

The Folly is simple because according to my ‘theory’ “reducing everything down to the purest, most elegant form…” so even though the Folly is simple it can convey a sense of purity and elegant instead of looking bulky and ‘a lot of things happening at the same time’.

Final image captures with texture

From the image above we are able to see the simplicity of the two monuments and also the land between the two is smooth to further convey the simplicity between the two monuments, but with the aspect of shadows the simple objects convey different complex levels of feelings when different time shadows are cast onto the curvilinear object.

Shadow is an important factor within my two monuments because shadow is used to link the two monuments together. From the image above, as the rectilinear monument projects its shadows onto the curvilinear monument in different times it conveys different feelings. 

The textures on both of the monuments are quite smooth, also the path between the monuments are a smooth path without any sudden lumps, and with the addition of the pond it evokes a sense of soothing sensation because water calms you down, which makes the path in between the two monuments smooth.

Textures and concepts

My concepts based on Alisa Andrasek is from her Facade India for Biothing

Simplicity – By joining simplicity together it becomes complexity.

Section – By joining different sections up there will be an unlimited possibility of shapes that can be produced.

Thin – Thin surfaces gives off a light and minimal appearance evoking a light and soft atmosphere.

Delicate – With the delicate appearance of the building it gives off a sense of fragility while being sturdy.

Progressive – As the building progresses from the edge inwards to the building there is a transition of hollow to a more solid feeling.

My concepts based on Frei Otto is from his German Pavilion

Minimal – Thin surfaced with minimal support to generate a light and weightless appearance.

Smooth – Smooth surfaces to generate a flow throughout the whole building making it appealing for the eye.

Planar – A flat surface that generates minimalism, also maintains its role of providing shelter.

Irregular – Irregular shapes convey a sense of suddenness to evoke a feeling of freshness and an element of surprise.

Hollow – Having a large empty space generates sufficient airflow to cycle around the whole building, able to contain large amount of people.
