Concrete

Concrete is a composite construction material composed primarily of aggregate, cement, and water. There are many formulations, which provide varied properties. The aggregate is generally a coarse gravel or crushed rocks such as limestone, or granite, along with a fine aggregate such as sand. The cement, commonly Portland cement, and other cementitious materials such as fly ash and slag cement, serve as a binder for the aggregate. Various chemical admixtures are also added to achieve varied properties.

Concrete can be damaged by many processes, such as the expansion of corrosion products of the steel reinforcement bars, freezing of trapped water, fire or radiant heat, aggregate expansion, sea water effects, bacterial corrosion, leaching, erosion by fast-flowing water, physical damage and chemical damage (from carbonation, chlorides, sulfates and distillate water.)

Marble

 

 

Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Geologists use the term "marble" to refer to metamorphosed limestone; however stonemasons use the term more broadly to encompass unmetamorphosed limestone. Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material.

Steel

 

 

Steel is an alloy made by combing iron and other elements. Steel is often used in architectures as skeleton. Even those with a concrete structure will employ steel for reinforcing.

 Steel is also distinguishable from wrought iron, which can contain a small amount of carbon, but it is included in the form of slag inclusions. Two distinguishing factors are steel's increased rust resistance and better weldability.

BARCELONA PAVILION

 

The Barcelona Pavilion is a work emblematic of the Modern Movement, has been exhaustively studied and interpreted as well as having inspired the oeuvre of several generations of architects. It was designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe (1886-1969) as the German national pavilion for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition, held on Montjuïc. Built from glass, travertine and different kinds of marble, the Pavilion was conceived to accommodate the official reception presided over by King Alphonso XIII of Spain along with the German authorities.

RUDIN HOUSE 

 

Pritzker Prize winners Herzog & de Meuron consistently design austere architecture, residential buildings included. The Rudin House is a heavy concrete mass but is set up on stilts. The interior is as quiet as the smooth grey exterior, but it's warmed up by the floor and furnishings.

HOUSE IN BORDEAUX

 

 

The house was designed for a couple and their family, but before Koolhaas and OMA were commissioned for the project in 1994 the husband of the family was in a life threatening car accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. Two years after his accident, the couple approached Koolhaas to design them a new home outside of Bordeaux. Despite having been paralyzed, the man did not want t straightforward house rather he wanted a complex design, stating: “Contrary to what you would expect. I want a complex house because the house will define my world.”

>> Week 5 Strategy -

The letter and number I am using to form my island is "O8". As a strategy for conveying this through my island, I plan to subtly and carefully placing part of vegetation and water volumes and using the hills to form shapes.

The canyon landform is quite different to the forest or normal mountains, it's hard to get interesting and energetic vegetation to make it as real as possible. So what I am going to do is following the American Conyon as my inspiration, put some dessert plants and rocks, small river path and so on...
