Final Design Images

A selection of 5 images captured from Lumion to help describe the building
Additional images can be found here

Image taken from Lumion of the over all design of the area. Constructed on the side of a cliff that over looks a small harbor with views of the ocean. The colours are very basic in the design focusing mostly on white, red and black. A wooden floor is used to help connect the three spaces as well.


Looking up at the design from the water. this image isn't very informative to the usable areas of the design but gives the overall shape from beneath. The red colour, most apparent in the weaving structure through the building, gives a physical interpretation of the electroliquid aggregation to unify the separate elements of the design


The dark pillars in the middle of this image are covered in the darkest of the chosen texture. Their strong form and dark help to balance the design from the vast open views on the opposite side of the space. 


The second texture has been used on the inside of the wall of the most enclosed area of the design. It is intended to mimic the stone of the cliff behind it. This room contains benches for students to converse and enjoy as well as a framed view of the mouth of the harbour and the ocean.


The light texture has been used on a slanted feature wall in the central meeting area. In front of this wall is one of the only spots in the design where the ocean cannot be seen and the texture was used to set this particular space out from the rest of the space. The slanted angle of the wall and surrounding floors also allows for use as a seating or leaning area while working or chatting in a group.

The Two Monuments in Lumion

The first upload of the monument sketches into Lumion. A few trees and people were added for scale.

Detailed Elements

The Detailed Elements as they Appeared in Sketch up:

Benches were created for a seating area. These benches follow the colour scheme and material palette of the rest of the design as well as incorporating both curves and straight lines.


The stair case is a thin simple stair with straight treads and raisers however it's support comes from a semicircular red beam running under neath it, adding a curved element to the otherwise rectilinear detail 


The support structure for the meeting area has been included as a detail for its angled design as well as the fact that it is not visible from the majority of the meeting area. 

Concept Modification

Original two concepts:

Planar elements for harmonization with existing landscape



Minimal skin and bones framework to reveal the individual character

Revised Concept:

Combining a basic skeletal Structure with planar form in different elements to encourage an evolution within a design that incorporates the needs of a wide variety of people.

Axonometric Sketches

Six sketches from two different angles and the concepts that they relate to.

Architect's Concepts

Mies Van Der Rohe

  • Limiting excess and clutter to emphasize open space
  • Planar elements for harmonization with existing landscape
  • Minimal skin and bones framework to reveal the individual character
  • Unification achieved without ornamentation through the character of enclosed space
  • Reducing distractions to emphasize the beauty in essential elements of our lives


Nathalie de Vries (of MVRDV)

  • Reuse of materials for Sustainability
  • Challenging existing thinking through optimizing design solutions
  • Focus on urban landscape and the public realm
  • Radical investigative spatial research
  • Multicultural habitat for a rich social life
  • Turn urbanism into landscape architecture
