Thinking about Architecture

The first 3 images are the design project from Christian Kerez (a swiss based Architect. Amongst his most well known projects are the Chapel in Oberrealta, the Liechtenstein Art Museum), in ZhengZhou, China. 




I can still remember a sentence heard from lecture in my graduated university. It said," Sculpture and Architecture are the most close subject, but they are just separated by their different functions.The second image totally present the relationship between Sculpture and Architecture.

*The blue form cutter in workshop is quite difficult to cut the sharp edges... The finished massing model look bad*
