Inspirations from Existing Architecture

After establishing my ideas of segmentation, I have looked into existing architect's work to help me in areas of construction, materiality, thematic associations etc.

1. Peter Zumthor - Therme Vals

The gaps created by Peter Zumthor to allow sunray to penetrate to highlight the materiality of the building

The beauty in the reflection of water on the stone walls

2. Tadao Ando - Church of Light

The cross shape gap of the building

The call for contemplation in a spiritual realm

3. Alvar Aalto - Villa Mairea

The soft entry which acts as an intermediary between the Finnish woods and the house

The softness of material applied creates a space of femininity

4. Unknown architect - Pantheon

The divine illumination of space

Study of plans and sections
