Innovation Center – Giant openings puncture Elemental’s “monolithic” concrete innovation centre.
Not only green plants are used to be landscape design, but also stone designs could be a special way to illustrate beauty. I was intrigued by these cement spheres that were situated in front of the Innovation center due to their unique design and diverse purposes. Such as the stone spheres in front of the innovation center in PUC. The stone spheres is emphasizing the shape of circle while the with contrast of formal rectangle shape of innovation center is creating the sense of recreation. So people can feel more entertained. There were three sets of the cement spheres containing roughly thirty various sized spheres in close proximity to each other. The texture of the spheres looked like a mixture of cement and other aggregates. As I was observing how the spheres related to the campus, I noticed they were being used more so as a place for gathering, sitting, and elemental design instead of relating to its context. Multiple people were sitting on the spheres, including our Santiago group, to rest or meet people to go inside the innovation center. The cement spheres acted as its own location marker due to how easily it was to spot and notice them as so the building.
