EXP2 FINAL

Electro-Liquid Aggregation: 

"A practical functional form services a dynamic organism, which spreads fluidly "like fruits on the vine."

I wish to create a monumental experience that can be shared through out the journey. There are meeting places located in all three structures. The Auditorium on the bottom right will be used as the main gathering place; the transparent flooring allow students to discuss about their perspectives, before and after exploring monuments, while standing 'on the water surface'.

The Monument is created base on the idea of an "dynamic organism". The multiple red and blue prisms are acting like tree branches, tangling around center fundamental rectangular arch like structure. The helicopter platforms on the back of the monument, stair cases and the two extended structures at the front are like fruits growing from the center.

Norma Sklarek's Monument image series

This monument represents Sklarek's concept of "practical functional" in the aggregation. It is made up with  16 differently sized floor plates, stood up on three rectangular arch-like structures that stacked on top of each other. Apart from being a monument, it functions as a circulation structure, it contain sets of stair cases that connect from ground level to Hadid's monument. 

Each floor plates also function as meeting place for students during the journey.
