EXP.3 MashUp





MASHUP

@Three news articles referring to Architecture


CONTENT:



Architecture is giving body to the will of earth, as well as a beautiful dream of the land, but the most important factor is to give the gesture to co-exist with the surroundings.The topographic model of the site was crucial to address the siting of this house. Access is at the highest level and from there a slight slope faces the best view and better sunlight. Its Northern facade faces the central garden courtyard, which acts as the ‘heart’ of the campus. The low-set horizontal appearance of the building integrates with the dimensions and design characteristics of its existing surrounding buildings which are comprised of opaque stone facades facing the city and glass facades facing the central inner garden. To complement the narrow and pouting interior, we designed height of floors higher than usual and cut walls to let light in, while putting waves of wood louvers on the wall to enhance a gentle atmosphere.
