The Concepts

Vo Trong Nghia
Concept: Dissolve the distinction between the interior and exterior

Within VoTrong Nghia's architecture, the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces are blurred as he demonstrates how nature and the outside world can be implemented within interior private spaces. Similarly, I have utilised this concept in my work as there is no distinct space between interior and exterior. The overhanging, curved roof creates an open space that allows people to experience the open nature of the environment.  

Carlo Scarpa
Concept: Complexity meets simplicity

Carlo Scarpa's architecture appears simple however he has carefully followed a complex approach in his work to express the importance of detail. In his work, it is evident that large and simple architecture can have very complex findings. In my work, i have been inspired by this complex and incorporated it in the textures. The textures from a far appear to be of a single colour, but up close they consist of fine-lines that make up detailed patterns and these textured surfaces enhance the atmosphere of the tram stop.
