Experiment 2
Final Submission
Interdependence
The end is never the resulting effort of a single person or a single group. It is the collaboration of many people and many groups.
At first, my model was massive as I thought that it was supposed to be a building, but my tutor sugessted that I scale it down by a lot. The brief also does not suggest that the monument itself is a building. In accodrance with my previous idea of equality between the lanscape and architecture, I chose to to scale down my model so that it would not seem more significant than the lanscape. However the rigidity and artificiality separates the two clearly. The 'space for the students' exists both on the architecture, and the surrounding terrain.

The transparent box on the left represents one group of people, in my case, the architects who form the conceptual ideas. A bridge from the block, passes through the void of the central block, representing engineers. Architectural ideas must pass by the engineers. The monument bridges a ditch and the surrounding flat terrain loops around, representing how Visualisation Artists interact with both parties.
I used textures to symbolise concepts for different parts of the architecture.

| At first, ideas are light and conceptual... |
 |
| ... We consider different perspectives... |
 |
| ... As the ideas develop, they gain more detail and substance... |
 |
... Until we reach what we think is the goal and wonder where to stop tweaking...

The original Folder in Levels had 6 versions, but because it was too big to download, I deleted an internal folder and its contents, but the levels should still open.
