EXP 2 (2013) Final Submission

The concepts I have selected for my final submission are:
1, visionary drawings. not intellectual. ---- ERICH MENDELSOHN
2, mass productions vs mass customization. ---- NERI OXMAN

Electronic Aggregation: The mass customization is a visionary suggestion, it can lead to a much more personalised world.

So in my work, i have used texture Light-Medium-Dark to convey this idea.
the followings are the 3 textures:

Light--- this is a texture used on the bodies of the monument, the triangles are randomly arranged, which illustrate the concept of customization.  

 Medium--- this is a texture used on the walk ways, the random patterns are to reinforce the idea of customization, this kind of drawings are suggested as the visionary drawings.

Dark--- this is a texture used on the supports of the monument, the idea of visionary drawings is demonstrated by the composition of the white and black, and also the idea of the customization is also illustrated by the openings on the support.  

early morning, also featuring the location of the monument.

having a walk beside the waterfall, the gap between the two stones has brought the view of the monument close to the viewer.

standing on the monument and observing the land, featuring the use of material for the monument -- concrete.

a view from under the water, featuring the openings on the support. the monument seems like "flowing" with the waterfall, this suggests the monument is combined with the surrounding environment, this also demonstrates the idea of customization, which it is unique and not the same, just like the "unstable" monument. 

standing on the second level, featuring the contrast of light and dark.

a view at 9:00pm from the sea level. 

night walk along the waterfall, featuring the entry of the monument.

standing on the monument at 9:pm, featuring the light and dark in the night time.

a view from the ground level of the monument towards the top of the support, also featuring the use of concrete.

This is an overview of the model at a low angle, this model is located at a cliff.

The idea of Shinya Kimura's studio is WILD, we can see the shadow of the studio like the animal's claw coming up slowly in the afternoon.

A view of Jiro's studio and the entrance of the show room. At the right hand side of the building, the shutter window displaying a character '司' and there is an other character '寿' at the other side, which indicate SUSHI.
