BRINGING NEW REALITY
THE HOUSE OF RISING SUN
Type: Architizer’s One Rendering Challenge| Location: NY, USA | Status: shortlisted |
Our idea was to create an interactive composition with architecture being a plastic system interacting with other systems (including humans). This poured concrete, almost-monolithic architectural structure communicates with human through its form, appearance, and reflected light. Despite the brutalist style, known as unwelcoming and inhuman, in this composition human is a part and logical continuity of the architecture. Muted materials, minimalistic form, and massive brutal appearance highlight the emotional power of space. Rough, unfinished surfaces inside the structure contrast with the mirror-like water surface. The calm nature landscape of a sunset accompanies the round-shaped building and creates a peaceful and silent atmosphere.
