As respond to my design theory " Minimalist Architecture",  I aimed to achieve the "minimalist" from the shape and contrustion materials of the house. For the form of the building,  I was inspired from the Theerme Vals (1996) which was design by Peter Zamthor. Instead of using complex curves,  I Choose the straight line and wide space to emphasize the minimalist. For the construction materials, I was inspired from Japanese architect Tadao Ando which using the concert as main materials. Ando is one of the most famous Minimalist Architect at present, he is famous in using concert and balance  the relationship of the light and space to express Minimalist. So the two important elements of my house that responds to Minimalist are the form and materials.

Theory

-Minimalist architecture is restricted to fewer elements but to achieve the most effect. It characteristics emphasise the form, light, space and materials in order to create sense of simplicity, cleanliness, purity and functionalism.

-Less is more.

-Focused on adding only what is the needed and removing the rest.

 Examples of Minimalist Architecture

Farnsworth House (1951)

Design by Mies Van der Rohe

 Church Of the Light (1989)

36 TEXTURE

IMAGE FROM LUMION

1.

I used two different textures for the ground and roof of the light rail station, the one on the roof is more like a traditional pattern, and the one on the ground shows more futuristic which is what I want to express that emphasising the concept of Multicultural.

2.

3.

Also, for the base of the platform bridge, I used a texture that come from 'light' part which can integrate with the glasses used for the facade of the bridge. So you can see both 'heavy' color like blue on this building and 'light' elements as well. The purpose of choose this texture is to emphasise the multicultural from how the building built from different elements.

5.

The concept of multicultural also can be seen from how all the texture compare to the from and materials used in this station, which the building are more made from straight line , so that's why i choose these texture that included a lot shape  to make the whole design language combine both 'hard' and 'smooth'.
