Inorganic Fusion
More than most sites, the site in which the building is situated, is a representation of man’s manipulation of nature. Formally diverting the river with the construction of a dam. Buildings to shelter man from the environment and gazebos for entertainment. These are all examples of man artificially manipulating nature. This project Inorganic Fusion goes against the notion of man manipulating nature and allows nature to manipulate architecture. The form is exclusively influenced by the natural path of the river and its coastline. Allowing nature to manipulate the trajectory of the architecture. As the form is an extension of the existing infrastructure, the grain of the building is inspired by growth. Combined with the growing landscape, the building becomes seamless with the ground, harmonizing the two worlds, natural and artificial. The relief is emphasized in the interior spaces allowing users to flow through the space and experience the building. The basement, where the exhibition space is situated, uses grain to create cuts on the walls and floors. These cuts contain water, and as light penetrates the interior space, the light reflects off the water to project on the interior, allowing nature to introduce its properties into the architecture.
