Week 3 Studio + Week 4 Independent Study

Idea behind my design: "Jacques Herzog stated that this building will reinterpret the essence of Tropical Modernism, and it somehow reminds me of the modern movement in Brazil, with raw structures providing shade, while containing smaller enclosing sub-elements. The slabs stand over a set of irregular columns, giving a sense of a precarious equilibrium. These columns also cast different shadows, giving more character to the facade."

The idea behind my design reflects those of the Bird's Nest. I have not covered the whole building with an outer structural element, but rather revealing only part of it, giving the building a very raw taste, almost like stripping down the building. Like the bird's nest there are 2 structural elements; an internal one and external one.

The reason why I found this piece of Augmented Reality so inspiring and interesting is because of it's real time interactivity and animation. The fact that the animation was based on the interactivity from the user and being able to return that information back in real-time was what amazed me the most.
