slow
movements on a giant's landscape
Tilted Fields - How to
make a medium scaled building in a landscape where only
the Gigantic and the Microscopic are at ease? Into this
environment of Tilted Fields we took a giant step and
introduced our own.
Lifted above the ground and occupying all of the space
within the site boundary below the ridge line, these
tilted fields seem like flat featureless straight edged
milky planes from afar, but on approaching the building
reveals itself as three dimensional and tilted at heady
angles, extremely detailed and complex, fuzzy, shimmering
and transparent.
Molecular Perfection - The
Fields' stainless steel structure derives its lightness
from the strongest and most efficient shape known to
nature and found in surfaces as disparate as molecules
and cooled volcanic lava, the hexagon.
Materials - All materials
are recyclable, exploit their own chemical, physical
and mechanical properties to the utmost. Refined and
honed to their smallest dimensions to create a building
with both a light physical and ecological footprint.
The new module or structural form is repeated thousands
of times. Thus Innovation reduces costs in repetition
and minimum inventory creates maximum diversity. |
