EXP2:The Space Between [FINAL SUBMISSION]

The Two Concepts

Variations of Space/Industrial 

Dorothe Mandrup-Poulsen
Dorothe Mandrup is famous for her angular and well structured buildings. Her architectual designs are based on conventional shapes such as triangles, rectangles etc. Here she would develop them and transform into spatial schemes that could anticipate a sense of 'conceptual clarity and accuracy'. She utilises pre-fabricated structure as well as lightweight mobile elements to bring out translucency and minimalism.  1

Humble/Humanism 

Karen Clemmensen 
Karen Clemmensen embraces the features of the surrounding environment to allow her architectual design to assimilate nicely within it. This allows her building to express a sense of humble and humanly nature to it. Here people would feel included and more connected to the nature.

18 Axonometrics 

36 Custom Textures 

Light is used in most of the floors that faces to the sun. The texture is rather organic which relates to the surrounding environment. It also allows light reflection and provides a brighter and fresher presence for the participants.












Medium is used in predominantly in the second level of the monument. The texture is placed on a solid square-shaped monument which gives it a more edgy and refined touch to the square.

Dark is used in the higher levels and the slender structures. This strengthens the slender structures and empowers their stability. 

5 Real Time Captures 

Front View 

The front part represents the concept 'subdued intimacy' which means the intimate spaces are subtle and the client would feel open and expressive rather than enclosed. They would also enjoy the beautiful Danish air and ocean as they out-look from the Denmark coast.
