NOTES ON MODELS THAT CAPTURE QUALITIES
This is a model of a fine abstract art sculpture, not a building. Using an abstract art as an inverse process; expressing the sculpture with materials using the power of line, spatial interaction, colour, texture, balance and competition.
From the peak of the sculpture, it shows a series of symbiosis towards its foot; looking sophisticated yet trying to maintain its simplicity with clean edges.
Various clean edges being stacked upwards; creating a dynamic movement as the edges being pointed in different directions. From the view of the foot of the sculpture, the dynamic movement drives upwards; making the peak of the sculpture spirited and vigorous.
When the light is being shone against the edges of the sculpture, it creates various moods due to the angled shadows. People portray shadow as something sad, having feared and something to ignore of. But in this sculpture, the amalgamation of the light and shadow creates a quality of space with happiness and secure.
Having gone through the process of making the model, a strong core is needed in order to support the strong dynamic forms surrounding it; from the ground towards the peak. Having a limited degree of angle at the surface of the sculpture allows the odd forms to maintain its fluent dynamic forms and also to hold all these odd forms together. Most of these forms are depending much on the main core; being cantilevered out or leaning against the core with odd forms; initiating the technology of a lift core or columns needed in order to support a structure.
It's an interesting and arresting model and your narrative is engaging. However it needs some explanation on how all this is inspired by looking at MVRDV's work.
