Form+Practicality= Beauty:
- The notion between this combination was creating an intimately dynamic space by combining an interesting form with a practical sense of movement. To do this I created a bridge (the functional inner space of movement) and surrounded it with a purely aesthetic surrounding. I drew this with the framed curvature appearing in harmony and in opposition. This was to emphasise the lack of necessity for the curved frame where its only role is to provide an interest in the piece.
Structure as a rhythmic space:
- Goldberg, in his Prentice hospital, emphasises that the repetition of structural pieces create a dynamic rhythm that delights the observer in their attraction towards the building. I duplicated this effect by keeping the same smaller building blocks and enlarging them in scale to create a dynamic design.
Architecture suffers at the hands of the client:
- The main detraction from an architect's work is the client. However, Goldberg also addressed that rather than it being an architect's greatest obstacle it should work in adhesion with their creative process. As a result, the largest rectangular prism represents the ideas of the architect which have slowly been transformed by the violent subtractions of the client to create a new piece. As Goldberg states, this new piece however, can still be beautiful in form so the once warped object is remolded under the careful eye of its original creator.
