Experiment Three: Mash up

 Mashup

To him, a tree is a pure being of obsolete presence; in his simple terms: “Nothing special – incredibly powerful”- Peter Zumthor. Following this ideal, We can replicate the forms of nature and their feeling of presence, of space, of material, creating new organic  connections between the existing hierarchy. Through the inclusion of organic and natural forms as well as the incorporation of ’green architecture’, this new form will bring new green space to urban settings and relieve congestion and open up surface ground for new uses. Furthermore it creates a “living dictionary of the natural heritage” connecting the urban environment to its natural past. Through these concepts the urban setting is now about creating an atmosphere, and this is about creating architecture.
