Renders (low quality) in site context
Lake Burley Griffin, Canberra
The renders, when photo montaged into Lake Burley Griffin - Canberra, worked better then first anticipated. I was able to find high quality panorama .jpg files, meaning that I had a 360 degree background for the Vitra Sculpture Park.
Text First Draft
The re-envision scheme for the Vitra Design Museum is to use the structure of the buildings shape to recreate it into more of a sculpture form, focusing on Frank Gehry's underlining intent of the building, being that of deconstructive sculpture architecture.
This is achieved through the re-design and representation of Gehry's original design’s function, as a multi-story “art installation” sculpture park. The park is be embedded into a pontoon, which floats on a lake whilst maintaining its original scale. The sculpture is composed of a series of weaving white metallic tubes connected to certain points that represent the original location of the building's corners'. The Sculpture possess two levels both in which include various gardens and park features with the main focus being on the buildings amazing architectural form along the mountainous, lakeside scenery of the site.
With the function of a conventional park being a space where people are able to escape from the mundane norms of day-to-day life. This functional setting is ideal for the intended scheme. It allows for those occupying to focus on the beautiful structural form whereas in a regular building the environment is much less leisurely therefore hindering the spaces serenely.
Re-envision Scheme
Architectural beauty is not entirely dependent on the building design; but also reliable on the surrounding landscape. The purpose of the re-envision is to create a beautiful architectural scheme that focus’ on Frank Gehry’s original intent of design, that being to create an exploded-then-reconstructed, free flowing structural form. This is achieved through the utilization of site context as well as the building design.
The re-envision scheme employed is the re-representation of the building as a skeleton-like structure that embodies the shape of the original Vitra Design Museum, which inadvertently emphasises the layout of the sculptural structure.
This along with site context of the structure that being of a lake surrounded by a beautiful, mountainous panorama landscape, helps creates space that allows the user to admire the form of Gehry’s original design. Therefore possessing a scheme that adds a further graceful quality to this already beautiful piece of architecture.
