Experiment 2 - Architect Concepts

Herzog &  de Meuron
1. Compartmentalisation - Emphasis on function through accentuation of structural elements to give the illusion of no walls - illusion of no walls
2. Seemingly random Stacks of geometry to affect the play of light
3. architectural commentarry through form - challenging the narrative through function
4. Use of negative space to define the fabric of the building
5. Materiality to integrate natural and built forms

Eero Saarinen
1. framing the external environment
2. emotional response through exagerated architectural scale
3. anthropomorphism
4. circulation defined by the organic
5. topographic architecture blurring the visual with the structural

bonus - visual vectors create juxtapposition between interior and exterior spaces
