Render 1:

The chosen concept was on sustainability, where the integration of minimalistic design combined with organic geometries, accentuate the underlying concept of both Zaha Hadid and Herzog & de Meuron being simple yet dominating.

Render 2:

Zaha's association to nature evoked through her design choices is contrasted by Herzog & de Meuron's forward thinking and contemporary design featured by the mechanised/steampunk aspect of the black rungs of the light rail stop.

Render 3:

A close up of the light rail stop, featuring the waiting zone. The light colours of both the glass and the background is again, used as a contrast the dark overhanging rungs, linking the simple and practical exploration of Zaha and H&M's design choices.

Render 4:

An opposite angle from the first image. This angle highlights the harmonisation between the light rail stop and its surrounding, again, paying homage to both Zaha and H&M's architecture.

Render 5:

The association between all the elements of the surrounding, footpaths, light rail and its stop, the nature and the buildings, reiterate the statement made in the above picture. It also shows the practicality of the siting, another aspect of Zaha and H&M's architecture.

ARCH1101

Best photo i have ever taken. This photo actually bolstered my interest into design and architectural manufacturing, in the sense of how this scenery is created and the underlying principles of this specific structure. Kind of used a filter, but largely retained the originality of this photo (filter mainly added saturation and vibrancy).

This photo was taken the same time as the picture above, but i liked this photo the most, because it reminds me of how nature itself can used to generate such a magnificent scene. The landscaping and all the underlying architectural principles in planning this entire area, really intrigued me, adding to the previous spark of interest from the above picture.

This photo features an architectural ingenuity. The knowledge of physics which is conveyed by the edges of the pond, aids in isolating the entire pond, removing an otherwise plain and quite unappealing concrete border. The design further integrates an understanding of the physic principle, to generate a mini, lake-like structure, which definitely wow'ed me.

 Silencer. Elegant. Rush.

Juxtaposition. Violent. Mediating.

Scales. Temporal. Free.
