Building envelope & tectonics.



The final stage of project 2 was to start exploring tectonics. As previously mentioned, I decided to separate the programs of the museum and research centre. I am really inspired by the National Museum of Underwater Archaeology and the way its 2 programs are demarcated through materials, form and tectonics. I want the research centre to be an extension of the cliff - therefore to have a solid, rigid and heavy aesthetic. The nature museum, on the other hand, will be transparent, fluid and light to respond to the river. 

The next phase leading into project 3 will be exploring some possible forms and materials that effectively convey these aesthetics. The next stage of design will also be refining the internal spaces and connections between them, as well as their specific floor areas.
