One point perspectives and Two perspectives

One point perspectives

Structured

Orthogonal, Stacked on top of each other

Shelves, Climbing 

Linear

Connections to objects

Combined, affinity through connection

Closed off, stocky

Mass creating space

Shelter can become space

Different geometry creating rooms, different directions for various uses

Harmony in geometry, open and closed

Different experience as one gets higher

Two point perspectives

Openness creates an open-mind

Developing an affinity for the outside, outside influencing inside

Circulation is clear, connection creates happiness

One should be entranced by an entrance

Connected to the interior

Comfort in being boxed in, Composition creates order

Reflections creating space, Directing to a  point

Corner creating space

Symmetry in reversing

Different proportions, reversing creating space

Fluid circulation, Confined in movement

Flowing through steps

We are sometimes eager to celebrate the influence of our surroundings. To make architecture is to attempt to establish order in the midst of an unstable and ceaselessly changing social and natural world.

Evolution has a place in structural design, as in any field. New techniques emerge, entailing the belief that nature could be conquered through technological innovation.

Architecture is perplexing, too, in its capacity to generate how one can attain some degree of freedom with connection to nature.

"It is absolutely useful for them to be aware of such things to take advantage of the flexibility and precision inherent in technology to create artificial environments. If one room can alter how we feel, They have been part of that evolution, taking back our closeness to nature.

ElectroLiquid Aggregation:

An environment is cultivated through the uniformity of simple spaces despite its artificial nature

The monument utilises areas that are exposed to its surroundings to express the concept of working in harmony with the natural environment. 

Meeting Area: The contrast between the open space and the orientation of the small window provides a link between the outside to the inside of the monument thus allowing the occupants of the building to experience and develop an affinity with the environment.

Although the composition of the monument is artificial, the building aims to emulate the environment with blocks that appear to "grow" out of the ground and open areas.
