CONCEPT CONCEPT OF SHAPE

The internal of fruits basket that
composed of various pots
with different size and volumns to be
the main idea of planing diagram for
different size of square whitout any
hierarchies. With no front or back, to
create "Museum open to the city like a
park" where people can gather and meet
with one another. The aim of the
Museum is "casualness", "enjoyment",
and "accessibility" with a desire to
avoid the traditional image of a
museum that normal people inacessible
to spread equality of access to every-
one.
The Circle
= Multiple Directions

The design characterized by the use
of round and streamlined shapes.
The most visible characterisic of this Museum is
its unusual form. The site, surrounded by three
streets, is accessible from multiple directions,
which led to the actual plan of circularity.
Anyone can enter the Museum through any entrance
which helps to facilitate easy access and a sense
of closeness between the building and the city.
Horizontality
= Location of Facility
Exhibition rooms, restaurant, and art library
are located in a horizontal place, so that the
Museum looks spread out as if the visitors were
in downtown area. The natural flow of the Museum
enables visitors easily to view each area.
Transparency
= Producing Openness
The use of glass walls, inside and out,
produces transparency and brightness.
It also enhances a sense of encounter,
an awareness of each other's presence,
and unity among the visitors, whether
they are at inside or outside of the
building.

The museum's program includes meeting spaces, a reading room, library, workshops
for children, a restaurant, service and display areas. Therefore, the complex had
to be both public and private, including free access areas for the benefit of the
local population, as well as other paid areas to allow the maintenance of this fa-
cility.

LOGO

I was on the mark as it is the architecture overhead view. Museum that is open to
the outside, with no museum front, a variety of how to use and capable of museums,
the concept of the museum is unique is because it appears to the building overhead
view as it is. This mark can be used as exhibition hall sign and museum. It is
assumed in advance that it is not a mark that exists only as a symbol, many
features are found naturally in a variety of use environment.

This shape design is intended to keep the overall height of the building low(their heights range from 4 meters to 12 meters), to reduce the size of the project to multiple points of access. It demonstrates a desire to avoid
the traditional image of a museum that normal people inacessible to spread equality of access to everyone.

Klangfeld Nr.3 für Alina

Twelve pipes that bell out like tubas are installed in the lawn surrounding the Museum. Each pipe passes
underground and connects to another pipe, and each pair of pipes performs as a speaking tube. The bells
of the paired pipes do not necessarily stand near one another, however, and hence, the speaker’s voice
will be sent somewhere unexpected, and an entirely unexpected voice will be heard. While simple in stru-
cture, this contrivance produces a landscape where sound seems to travel through a labyrinth. The word
“klangfeld” of the German title means “sound field.”

This pavilion, established on the lawn encompassing the museum, is contrived to let children enter and play in
the interior. It takes a complex shape, reminiscent of a balloon pushed out in six different directions from
the inside. Three of the six projections contact the ground at their ends and support the overall structure
while functioning as entrances. By giving the pavilion transparency using pipes and wire mesh, the architect
CURTAIN WALL has produced an image of lightness that renders the structure’s large size unnoticeable.

The Swimming Pool

When viewed from the deck, the pool appears to be filled with deep, shimmering water. Below the glass
is a water tank which has been painted light blue an empty space with aquamarine walls that viewers
can enter.It will bring about a new type of communication between visitors.

STRUCTURE
In this project the presence of the structure is reduced to a minimum, creating
a perfect link from the inside to the outside reinforced by two parallel planes:
the ceiling and the floor. Between these two planes there are only some very
thin steel columns that make it really difficult to think that
they bear any load.
In Colour activity house, three curved, glass walls, installed around a central outdoor lamp, form a
cyclone-shaped pavilion. The pavilion draws conceptually on the subtractive colour model CMYK, with
each wall consisting of glass tinted in one of three primary colours, either cyan, magenta, or yellow.
Depending on the viewer’s position within the pavilion as well as his or her degree of movement,
the regions of colour created by the walls mix together and produce various hues.

With 2 floors above ground level and two underground, its structure was made
with steel beams and 12.5cm tubular columns that support a reinforced concrete
roof, surrounded by a glass facade. Its interior divisions or “boxes” are
supported by cutting walls of steel beams. A steel structure for the basement
and basement supports the ground floor.

The Man Who Measures the Clouds

This work was inspired by Birdman of Alcatraz (1961, USA), a film based on the true story of a man who kept
birds in his cell while imprisoned in solitary confinement and became an ornithologist. At the film’s end,
when the man, who has been denied permission to continue his research, is asked about his future plans, he
replies: “I am going to measure the clouds.” The artwork take=-s its title from this line. Although modeled
after the artist himself, The Man Who Measures the Clouds also pays homage to his late twin brother. It is
thus a work blending various elements—human life and death, natural science, and the poetic gesture of
“measuring the clouds.”
