“Why still speak of the real and the virtual, the material and immaterial? Here these categories are not in opposition, or in some metaphysical disagreement, but more in an electroliquid aggregation, enforcing each other, as in a two part adhesive.”Lars Spuybroek, [1998] Motor Geometry, Architectural Design, Vol 68 No 5/6, p5
The above quote or 'Electroliquid Aggregation' infers the fusing of ideas to form a composite form.
The concepts I transformed are:
Negative Space (Jiro Ono)
Architectonics (Carlo Scarpa)
Below is my exploration that aimed to bring together both these concepts:
The large cube structure in the centre is Toyo Ito's monument, while the rib like structure encompassing it reflects Carlo Scarpa's architectonic approach.
Similar to the above image the monuments are the same. Here is an alternative arrangement of the monuments.
The above axonometric has taken a different approach. The previous structures, I felt, didn't reflect strongly on the designers. This approach aims to separate the two monuments therefore allowing them to stand on their own merits. The top picture has been designed for Carlo Scarpa aiming to focus on his architectonic approach. Below is the monument foe Toyo Ito hoping to represent his use of negative space.
From the above exploration, I have come up with the following Electroliquid Aggregation concept for the architects' monuments:
The architectonic like layering of experiences and strategies in a designers life provoke them to create unorthodox forms and transform atypical spaces.
