Simplicity, minimalism and silence is the aesthetic of the main chapel of Ibaraki Kasugaoka Church, by Tadao Ando. Through drawing and model making these qualities can be visualised.
Model - White core board and matt board.
Representing the Church
Marco Casagrande is an architect known for finding solutions to 'everyday problems'. He is also known as "an architectural maverick ". The selected example is ' Future Pavilion', in which he has used graphite pencil to render a design. Using various hatching methods he deftly illustrates any elements that lead the viewer on a 'treasure hunt' to discover his purpose.
'My design is organic. I don' t control architecture, I grow It. I need to find a way to be present in the situation where the architecture is growing from. Sketching helps, but to be present is the real key."
