Esteemed Exemplars (Studio 1 Project 2)
THE LANGEN FOUNDATION
Designed by: Tadao Ando
I was assigned a museum from around the world and started this project by making my first model. I was to research all that I could about the museum and its architect and their design process so that I could come up with a puzzle design that would be sold in the museum gift shop and that would teach the consumer about the museum/the architect. I wanted to represent Ando's approach to traditional Japanese architecture which is the use of having two contrasting things and having them interact, like the two structures: one of concrete and one of glass.
Includes: Process models, site, bas relief, mass, section, and final models and the puzzle model
