Reconstructing existing environments/structures
I opened up an old computer and started to dissemble the motherboard. I did this because I wanted to see how I would put different parts back together. Our mind and our approach to technology is very similar. Inside the motherboard there is still a remaining connection between geometric parts and the natural curved organic sides of others.

After I came to this model, I realised that the problem the client was having with the amount of space available in most temples to eat would be sorted if I created an add on (extension) to the main temple. This add on needs to be completely different from the main temple as this way it will provide a more impacting result on the viewer and will stand out more.

The Royal Ontario Museum
Daniel Libeskind
Libeskind's dramatic and heavy extension to the 135 year old building unbalances the symmetry of the original structure. The clear, harsh glass exposes light through and creates an openness to the museums previous closed off, cold aura. Th extension into a whole new style of architecture, attracting a wider range of people. The contrast that the new extension creates changes the appearance of the building all together, it is as though a giant bomb has landed in the middle of the museum itself; this reflects back to function - as this is a war museum the imagery of a giant bomb is suitable (it would not be suitable)
