Relation to electroliquid aggregation:

"The connection and fluidity of the natural and the built environment can enlighten humans to make ideas possible"

My structure relates to the electroliquid aggregation quote in some way. It is about the blending of the architecture into the environment. Although organic forms cannot be found in my structure which is built up with geometrical forms of different height and textures, but have the structure thoughtfully placed in the landscape allowing the built environment and the natural environment harmoniously related.

Testing the relationship between the architecture and the natural environment

EXP 2 - 6 MORE AXOMETRICS

















The higher the altitude, the lower the effects of gravity; Look deeper into the human mind and test the unconsciousness and mechanism of repression based on a thousand experiments

















Special forms will drastically influence the psychology of both extrovert and introvert; Even the most complicated geometrical shapes and architecture starts with the simplest mathematical formulas





















Humans are full of ideas, all we need is enlightenment to make them possible; The connection and fluidity of the natural and the built environment effect the human condition
