Week 2 Submission

Images of Steven Holl's Nelson/Atkins Museum.

"Moon Disks" allowing light to penetrate to the underground car park.


The Museum follows the landscape, and the material for the Museum has the property of glowing.


The Nelson/Atjins Museum is built next to the existing museum, and they contrasts with each other. For example, where the existing museum suggests heaviness, traditional and viewing landscape from the building, the new Nelson/Atkins Museum conveys a sense of lightness, modern and viewing the building from the landscape.


The folloing images are the week 2 submission







This is an attempt to express the idea of interdependency (that one thing cannot exist without the other) as well as Steven Holls' concept of architecture as a part of the landscape.

This model can achieve a better outcome by been more careful of the craftsmanship as well as taking care that the main idea is not "drowned" by other less important ideas.
