Mash-Up
As well as being
shaped by bureaucratically codified state regulations, architecture is also fundamentally
conditioned by the regions cultural history. Architecture has a thriving counterfeit culture which is a
lucrative means of cultural promotion, it is a
piece of public art, a design of socially meaningful form and meaning.

Experiment 2 Final Submission
"Buildings are not a machine for living but a work of art." - Charles Mackintosh
"Ecologist first and architect second." - Ken Yeang
"Ecologist buildings are a living machine and a work of art." - Electroliquid Aggregation
Ken Yeang. This first monument is about a nature being integrated into a building. The starkly flat frontage draws from the nature of a cliff face, and I've placed the building on a cliff to emphasise this. Also, the surrounding environment runs through the bottom level of the building, with plants and a creek running from the river above to the sea below, through the building.
The meeting point between these 2 structures is a castle ruin. It is a piece of architectural art from the middle ages but has been overrun by the surrounding environment so that, in its current state, the building is not itself without the vegetation and vice versa. The meeting point is reached from the Ken Yeang building by a small river, and by a wood walkway through the forest from Mackintosh's structure.
Charles Mackintosh. This monument is an attempt to display art. It is purely a structure that looks impressive in its environment of a volcano. The dark texturing is to convey the solidness of the base, then I have used a medium texture on the wide plane to give the feeling of weightlessness - creating this abstract piece of art.
