Concise version:
Architecture is an art for reconciling,  a bastion against the alienation of man with nature. In the architecture world, never forget that architecture can blend, reshape or transplant nature as a form of artificial scenery. It has a spectacular ability to resemble nature precisely because it constitutes the compelling marriage between the natural and inhabited places.





Other phrases:
However, housed in these natural surroundings, man doesn't hesitate to trenchantly elicit different responses in the mind regarding where man fits into nature. Everyone experiences the contemporary city as a rising bastion to execrable banality, seeking to enhance the aesthetic of architecture with exuberant bursts of colour among the beauty and delight of the natural and organic scenery.

EXP2 Aggregated Concepts




Jeffrey Yang's ARCH1101


Electroliquid Aggregation of concepts:
Separate entities come together through interlocking
Shadow as ornament

The influence of light upon the physical entity produces unique patterns in the shadows that form, depending upon the positioning and orientation of said entity. In the careful manipulation of placement, the deliberate composition of separate entities can produce a form of ornamental shadows: long, reaching spokes parallel to the path of the sun, or wider, more compelling patterns falling across the ground.

Interlocking, after all, is a natural state of affairs - what are atoms but small building blocks that hold fast? The idea of small elements which join together like pieces of a puzzle is not a new one - but the consideration of the play of shadows across the interlocking faces may produce interesting results.
