Experiment 3 - Mashup

The search to connect with nature has been of great value to architecture, buildings all about experiencing the surroundings and becoming aware of the relation between the city and the magnificent landscape not only enhance the natural conditions of a place, but also create a holistic relationship between the user and the space. Architecture that mimics the landscape blends with the surroundings, while at the same time engaging with the setting in a unique way. Each project responds directly to its given site, trying to make best use of a single small structure to provide a maximum of community functions. You experience the changing landscape as an endless panoramic composition and at the same time you enter a space of social interaction

Each project responds directly to its given site, through intelligent integration with its context it establishes a connection between the present and the history of the specific site. The project strengthens its connection with the surrounding environment through the use of transformable architectural elements and local materials
