Constructivist architecture is a form of modern architecture, popular in the Soviet Union between the 1920s and 1930s.Utilising emerging technologies and engineering tactics of the time combined with a Communist social purpose, the ideal was to create a utopia of an urban carnival and the magical machine.

The focus on design was the principles of kinetic, mechanical and psychological movements, to dynamism and transformation. The design was committed to the environment, the object and the human being. With these elements a relationship is formed in which the design creates a space of a “theatrical’’ machine of grand and extraordinary.

Yakov Chernikhov, an architect of this movement produced many astonishing drawings which reflected the Constructivist influence.  Chernikhov suggests "can, and must, take into consideration all the concrete needs of contemporary life and must answer in full the needs of the mass consumer, the collective `customer'--the people" (Bowls, 1988: 260-261).
He envisioned mechanistic worlds a –building and then of a metropolis of romantic pastoral concoctions already a-crumbling. The "mechanization" of architecture was supposed to go beyond making building methods more efficient and rationalizing the job of the architect. Chernikhov suggests : "We are gradually uniting artistic construction and machine construction; the boundary dividing them is being erased. A new conception of the beautiful, a new beauty, is being born--the aesthetics of industrial constructivism [which] is indebted for the concrete definition of its principles mainly to the artistic and technological research of the last decades" (Bowls, 1988: 260-261).

EXP 2: Final Luminion Images



The first image shows that the monument glows in darkness and even at night it fits in perfectly into the environment because of the smoothed surface at the back of the monument.

This image shows how the monument looks on a low angle of view.

The elevation shows how it looks when you pass by this monument at night. The light and medium texture made the stairs like part glows in an attractive way.

This shot shows at day time this monument becomes a natural playground for people around

On top of the monument it has a great view for you to look around, those small mountains and the dark texture at the back made it more invisible, and it doesn't look awkward for putting it into a natural environment. Moreover, the children on the monument can show the relative size of the monument.

architectural concepts of Lebbeus Woods

  1. deconstructivism through complexity. a
  2. architecture that disregards the ground plane. terrestrial reference. defy gravity
  3. mechanical movement, buildings that rotate, that inhabit, that occupy,
  4. apocalyptic architecture - response to war torn building fabric, restoration, demolition or integration.
  5. architecture formed via political or social conflict
architectural concepts of SANAA
  1. weightlessness - arrangement of forms that displays balance and harmony. 
  2. simplicity / minimalistic ideals of clarity & purity through simplicity
  3. flexibility / fluidity of spaces. circulation, interactions
  4. 4D - experiential quality greater than the form itself
  5. pure geometric forms. true, regular, white. the void as a method of visual connectivity between volumes.
