In this experiment we were tasked to create a monumental architecture based on architectural concepts relating to Frank Lloyd Wright and Aires Mateus Architects, as well as design the landscape surrounding it. My aim was to bring their two differing architectural styles together in a way that would create a dynamic monument with great contrast between forms.

To direct my design, I took two concepts we settled on in class - "Voids and negative spaces articulate a sense of secrecy", and "Artificial cultivation of the environment" - and combined them together in an ElectroLiquid aggregation that helped define my final monument - "An almalgamation of voids and negative spaces that artificially cultivate the environment to create a sense of secrecy in the landscape."

The stairs are constructed in a way that they fold over themselves - the landings don't take you around and then up, instead cutting the stairs in half and going back in the other direction.

This area is a true negative space - It is a space meant only for you to move through as you make your way to the meeting point and the next part of the monument.

The public lookout point. The colossal detailing is inspired by Aires Mateus' previous work. The private lookout point above cuts out views of the surrounding cliffs and mountainside due to sheer height, providing secrecy in the landscape.
