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.
