the Edge of Reality

from Architecture Portfolio_ Chia Le Huang

Characteristics

This project began with what if architecture is a problem without concepts, and how do we solve it?

1. Structured Form

First, with discussions of shapes, proportions, and structures, try to find a harmonious relationship between the four volumes.

2. Materiality & Connection

Study connections by handcrafting, combining different materials to find joints of the material board that can be applied to reality.

3. Proportion: Number, Division & Distribution

Material boards transformed into volumes and then studied their relationship with each other.

4. Program and Ambience

This process recognizes the difference between model and reality and the program and function. Put appropriate programs into the model, reshape the material model into architecture and find a suitable site to show its program well.

Using four volumes with minimal structural design to find an aesthetic harmony relationship; discussing shape, proportion and structure.

Medium / cardboard, wood Size / multiple sizes

Medium / concrete, metal, wood, acrylic

Size / 10 x 10 x X cm

I was connecting materials within the 10x10 cm scope, wondering how to use these materials to form usable architectural tectonics. Facade studies, looking for different angles to apply these material boards.
