Final Lumion Images

The two monuments face each other across a river connected by a bridge which both physically and symbolically connect the buildings thus demonstrating the electroliquid aggregation of the concepts of Wren and Nouvel.

The square shaped Wren monument utilises the mathematical concept of the Golden Ratio where the division of lengths within the structure equals pi. The measurements with in this structure reflect this principle. 

The Nouvel monument follows the contours of the landscape and further reflects the lay of the land through the elevated portion creating a window in which to view the natural environment from. the curved organic form accentuates the monuments harmony with landscape.

Electroliquid Aggregation

Combination of Wren and Nouvel's ideas:

Architecture design harmonizing with the environment through the use of mathematical and scientific concepts.

2. architecture aims at eternity
3. employs mathematical and scientific concepts
4. uses baroque with a classical restraint
5. Vitruvius ideas: proportion harmony and order.

Jean Novel Concepts:
1. Vegetation is a part of architecture
2. Importance in designing a building to harmonize with its site and surrounds
