Landscape Architecture is an aesthetic and sustainable design. “Each New Situation Require a New Architecture.”-The Quote from Jean Nouvel drives me to study landscape architecture in hope to make a difference for our physical environment in the near future.

Cube Project

Cube Project aims to create positive space and negative space which strengthen basic concept of architecture. 6’ 6’ “ize Cu e

Design Statement:

I would love to create a hierarchy space that interacts with its grid

form by strong axis as the intersection, and create the circulation

around the focal point.

A Summery of the kinetic energies which move the

point into a line, the mine into a plane, and the

plane into a spatial dimension. Paul Klee

Design Concept

Diagram Hierarchy space is visible in the

design conceptual diagram. The

strong axis is also expressed in

the design conceptual diagram,

which separates four sections

and the spaces linked a common

space

Elevation View I

The focal point is available

in elevation view I as well

as the contrast between solid

and soft as the different

material can express

different color with natural

light.

Elevation View II

Transition space can be

seen from the bottom

to the top as well as the

positive space to

negative space in the

elevation view II.

Cube Project

From the conceptual model,

it is easy to see the hierarchy

space as it can be seen

through the whole model by

natural light, and the datum

also can be seen by the wood

as it uses different material.

Conceptual Model

Natural

Light Natural light, a environmental

element, is an important

element in the cube project

because it shows the hierarchy

space when the light comes

from outside and follow the

horizontal elements going

through the hierarchy space.

I se se Light as the gi er of all prese es, a d aterial as spe t Light. What is ade Light asts a shado , a d the shado elo gs to Light.
