Refinement EXP2

Monuments are located at the Gap of 2 islands

From a character point of view, the monuments are constructed on the 2 sides of limestone

Multiple hanging devices extended from the Zaha Hadid monument (the rapping around ones)

A view from behind of the monuments

Here we can clearly see the separation of the 2 monuments. The middle door frame like monument is dedicated to Norma, and the thinner prisms that raps around Norma's monuments are Zaha's Monumnets.

They not in any ways attached or touching with each other.

Stairs are installed in the upper hanging device

A perspective view of the monuments.

A combined model of 

The Middle one - Norma Merrick Sklarek - Function over form - taking into account usage of space rather than aesthetic appeal

The Surrounding ones - Design as a growing organism that spreads through successive branches which form the structure “like fruits on the vine:” 

Electro_Liquid_Aggregation

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

Texture Used

"Laminated" is used as the flooring texture, purpose to describe the connection between floors, where I am trying to create relationships by adding glazings.

"Smooth" is used on one side of the main wall, depicting it as the only wall that is entirely flat and clean, with no glazing at all.

"Compatible" is used on the sushi presentation table, which it meant to be a multi-function area, therefore the element of inter-changiblty is added to its surface.

"Plasmatic" is used on Jiro Ono's kitchen's exterior, where it describes visitors' extra-ordinary experience of tasting Jiro's work of art.

"Porous" is used on the side of floor plates, again describing the relationship between each side of the floor plates.
