EXP2- Week 1: The Architects, Axonometrics and Models

The Architects

Adolf Loos

Adolf Loof's works focused more on designs that were more functional. Ornamentation in his eyes is irrelevant and unnecessary for buildings. His goal was for people to appreciate different architecture not for their looks but for their intrinsic beauty.  

1. Remove all unnecessary ornament
2. Aesthetic Purism
3. Must be current to the time when it's designed. No replica.
4. Logical / methodical / utilitarian 
5. The ornament is a criminal waste of time, money and material.

Jenny Wu
 Jenny Wu is an Architect/Designer who is part of the Oyler Wu Collaborative, which is a design and architecture firm. The collaborations of Jenny Wu and Dwayne Oyler are well known for their design, research, and fabrication. Oyler Wu Collaborative incorporate organic and freeform designs within their works, making it very aesthetic. 

1. Perceptual and visual void

2. Active inlay - an interplay of connecting solids and voids. 
3. Freeform Geometry
4. Animated form
5. Layering of objects

Layering of objects

The object is simple but is layered in different areas. The environment surrounding this gives more emphasis on the object, allowing us to be able to recognize the detail. The mountains that are farther away from the object, similarly, has a lot of different layers. This creates a relationship between the surrounding environment and object.
