"A built form and the landscape unites through the repetition of its elements which creates a sense of symmetry within the system"







 Each extending arms aims to connect the marker towards each sporting facilities and towards the M7 motorway


Extending arms of the marker relates to the landscape of the surrounding which creates a unity between the marker and the environment.






Repetition of vertical prisms creates a sense of symmetry

1. Ornaments must have function + It is not what form represents but if they function effectively
= The function of a form is effectively optimized through ornamentation







2. Systematic method of invention + More with less = Achieving more with less through the use of systematic method of invention




























3. Architecture is a continuation of landscape + Sense of order through repetition and symmetry
= A built form and the landscape unites through the repetition of elements which creates a sense of symmetry within the system

Concepts

Farshid Moussavi
Excess vs minimalism.

Ornament must have a function.

Sense of order through repetition and symmetry.

Her research looks at identifying instruments that create intelligent and creative forms.

Massavi tends not to borrow from theories external to architecture, instead uses theories that are specifically architectural:

the diagram,
landscape,
blank envelopes,
tessellation,
iconography

Architecture needs to produce “novel effects” in order for culture to evolve.

The built environment plays a critical role in the lives of people.

It is not what forms represent but if they function effectively.

Frei Otto

Collaborative approach to architecture – between biologists, architects, engineers, philosophers, historians, naturalists, environmentalists.

Systematic method of invention.

Early adopter of computational form finding.

Optimization of materials, structure and form, i.e. spider webs, soap bubbles, grid shells, tents.

“Architecture is the continuation of landscape.”

Democratic architecture.

Temporary architecture.

More with less.
