Electroliquid Aggregation

"Utilizing the dynamics of light to create dramatic monuments that integrate and dominate the landscape"

My Electroliquid concept integrates Calatrava's concept of, "Create monuments that integrate with and dominate the landscape" and Kahn's concept of"Compelling strong simple spaces with drama through the dynamics of light". I choose to merge these two concepts as they are interchangeable with each architect as  each contain elements that relate to the design philosophy Khan and Calatrava.


 Two initial  Concepts

1. Create monuments that integrate with and dominate the landscape

Calatrava creates structures with the mentality of it being something extraordinary and a focal point in the environment so in a sense he tries to monumentalise his structures to be the focal point of the landscape. Whilst trying to dominate the landscape with his structure he also harmonies its effect by integrating his structures with the landscape through his designs that take inspiration from natures patterns and features.


2. Compelling strong simple spaces with drama through the dynamics of light.

Louis Khan uses very geometric shapes to create simple spaces in his structures yet his structures seem to emanate a sense of drama and khan does this through using the dynamics of light, that cause reflections and shadows throughout his structures heightening the drama whilst maintaining the structural simplicity.
