3 - Electroliquid Aggregation - A sustainable light rail creates its own energy without compromising the existing environment. Public transport infrastructure which is often heavy and destructive to the existing built fabric, is instead a light-weight, symbiotic system that works with the existing flows of people, roads and streets.

Your parallel projections can be thought of as a syntax for your architectural scheme.

Parallel projections can be a representation of parts - ie "this block will be the light rail shelter and this curvilinear block represents the direction of the tram tracks"

Concepts - Class Pool

Note: The bold are what we should consider as concepts. The dot points are just point that youve observed in their buildings from the class exercise and are meant to jog your memory.

Peter Eisenman:

1. Order and Disorder
• Orientation and disorientation
• Making and breaking grids
• Disruptive responses to context
2. Deconstruction and Creation
• Space as subtraction of forms
• Boolean space
3. Intersecting Planes and Created Spaces
• Fragmentary Creations
4. Simplicity and Complexity
• Whitewash color over complex amalgamation of forms
5. Ambiguity between Landform and Building
• Ie Jewish Memorial
• Undulating flat plates and basic mass
• ie City of Culture - building becomes landform

Aldo Van Eyck:

1. Amalgamation of Repetition
• Network of like spaces
• Repetition of simple elements
• Centrifugal configurations
2. Curvilinearity and Rectilinearity
• Ie Pastor van Ars Church - contrast
3. Opposition of Heavy and Light
• Heavy structure floats, creating lightness and betrays structure
• Opposing materiality and weight
4. Sequentiality and Porosity
• ie Amsterdan Municipal Orphanage - Corners turn, but walls peel open
• Layers of inside > outside > inside > outside spaces.
5. Ambiguous Thresholds
