EXP02: Barcelona Pavilion

In my opinion, after the life of people, there is no need to present a dark, desolate, or scary environment. So I set up a bright view without any animal, just plants. After all, it is a remain after the life of people. Thus, it is necessary to create a desolate atmosphere. So I set the time of day to 5 o'clock pm. The setting sun gives the site a final warm and light. The dark is coming, night is coming.

Outpost

A good presentation of a abandoned a post. I do love the way to light a small part of the post when exploring. It gives a sense of scary and bleak.

Material Research

Concrete

Concrete is a long life composite construction material. It is usually composed of aggregate, cement, and water. The aggregate is generally a coarse gravel or crushed rocks such as limestone, or granite, along with a fine aggregate such as sand. Concrete has high compressive strength but low tensile strength. So it is usually reinforced with strong tension materials like steel. Concrete can be used for architectural structures, foundations, bricks, footing for gates.

Concrete can be damaged by many processes, such as the expansion of corrosion products of the steel reinforcement bars, freezing of trapped water, fire or radiant heat, aggregate expansion, sea water effects, bacterial corrosion, leaching, erosion by fast-flowing water, physical damage and chemical damage (from carbonation, chlorides, sulfates and distillate water.)

Glass

Glasses are typically brittle and optically transparent. The use of glass in buildings is a transparent feature to allow light to enter into rooms and floors, illuminating enclosed spaces and framing an exterior view through a window. It is also a material for internal partitions and external cladding.
Glasses have a very long life.

Steel

Steel is an alloy made by combing iron and other elements. Steel is often used in architectures as skeleton. Even those with a concrete structure will employ steel for reinforcing.

The service life of steel is not that long as steel can be easily damaged by acid , oxidation, etc.

3 Houses

Barcelona Pavilion, 1928, by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, rebuilt in 1986, is located in Barcelona, Spain. This building is simple but delicate by using selected materials as marble, glass, and steel.

House at Bordeaux is designed by Rem Koolhaas. It was built for a disabled client to live a interesting life.

Rudin House designed by Herzog and Pierre de Meuron is a house with typical external appearance concrete building.
