200 Word Brief

The name of my Museum is “Momento” and the two architects that have inspired me into creating my architecture Hadid Zaha and Louis Kahn.  Based from the concepts of Complexity and Space from the architecture of Hadid Zaha from her design of the Contemporary Arts Museum in Cincinnati, along with Louis Kahn’s “Shanshad Bhabhan” which is the national Assembly building of Bangladesh.  The Concept of Space and Complexity seem to join together giving it a very aesthetic feel.  I have taken the view that one cannot work without the other. In order to create space in a complex structure I have taken knowledge from these 2 architects and tried to bring that life into my building.  The museum is laid out in the middle of a landscape full of trees; mountains and an estuary come in from the sides giving it a very aesthetic feel. The design is surrounded by mountains and overlooked by a waterfall. I chose this landscape to show the differences between having a museum in a landscape such as this rather than a normal location.
