How to place your monuments into your landscape.
When you place your monuments in the landscape first think about:
- A: is this a part of the landscape/ humble attitude?
- B: is this an alien/ courageous attitude?
Examples of A:
LO-skolen (Karen Clemmensen)
Falling Water (Frank Lloyd Wright)
Examples of B:
The pyramids (Farao)
Centre Pompidou (Renzo Piano, Richard Rogers, Peter Rice)
You might want to choose to place your monuments in both extreme ways - one A, one B
You can also choose one of the built projects of each architects and copy this particular buildings relationship to the landscape.
Another consideration is, how would your monument relate to the datum/ the ground.
Remember what we learned from task 1.
Does the monument simply sit on the round, or is it "floating", standing on poles, dug into the ground or almost hidden (underground).
Is it cantilevering or creating a bridge in the landscape.
And does this relationship with the ground reflect the concept you are trying to communicate?
(the list of concepts we wrote down from each architect and the electroliquid aggregation you have come up with yourself)
