12 Axonometrics

The two architects that my class drew our concepts from were Shigeru Ban (alive) and Sukiya Zukuri (dead). The 6 concepts which I chose to explore were form follows landscape, lightness of mass, continuity, minimal/elegance/simplicity, framing views and moderation. I came to the conclusion that I could successfully express these concepts through the arranging of five prisms. After some research on the architects I made a conscious effort for the 6 concepts to be brought out in my designs. After much sketching I came to the following designs, as expressed below in axonometrics from two angles. Form Follows Landscape.
Lightness of Mass
Continuity
Minimal/elegance/simplicity
Framing Views
Moderation
