silkeborg - 10 words

When doing some research i came across this image and i wanted to somehow use this in my assignment, i think the rock texture from vray materials that goes into the water in my renders is a good display of this

I really love the colours and textures in these art works so wanted to incorperate them into my museum

These are my 10 words that I have used to describe Jorn Utzon's concept for the silkeborg museum of fine arts

1. illusive




2. meandering




3. intriguing




4. sculptural




5. environment




6. enclosed




7. Utzon




8. collaboration




9. incomplete




10. unrealised

Description

At first it seems as though my interpretation is the product of an indistinguishable tangent reminiscent purely of a long forgotten concept, A flamboyant expression of my own ideas in a near arrogant defiance of Utzon’s plans. I hope to however, convince you otherwise. The complex ramp series present in the Silkeborgs early clay renders appear to have been comprehensively discarded up initial observation of my model. Rather they have been fused into a single central ramp system, guiding guests through the museum without a sense of confusion or oppression. The multi ramp system presents alternative paths, but they are distant and difficult to get to without much travel and or back tracking, closing down the area. The singular ramp system allows the structures interior to seem almost like an exterior, even whilst underground. The broad glass ceiling enhances this sensation enabling penetration of sky and light into the building, reflecting off the water in the courtyard and flooding the museum with indirect light. The walkway cover has borrowed its support beams from the original design of Utzon, and whilst the overhead beams have adopted a more modern feel, their geometric allocation is yet another echo of Utzon’s legacy. The pseudo spherical eggs erupting from the ground in Utzon’s model have been simplified and reduced to a central shaft that serves as an elevator and an entrance egg. The elevator leads to a restaurant and store beneath the ramps, and due to the glass dome, clearly separating food and drink from the artworks. Due to layout of the structure, art can be displayed on nearly every vertical surface whilst the museum itself holds a subtle, yet elegant sculptural beauty.

Customized Silkeborg - Final renders

In the first and second render you can see clearly the entrance to the museum, this is probably one of my favourite parts because it uses a really great texture and the shape is very sculptural. for a sense of scale the stairs show how large the building really is. all in all the builing is very artsy and despite my doubts in the design process i am really happy with how artistic and aesthetic the whole thing is, i have tried to let my images do they talking rather then excessive amounts of text, i hope they have communicated clearly the nature of the structure, its worth taking a second look.

assesment 3 - silkeborg philosophy

(own render)

Utzon's concept for the silkeborg, though aesthetic in its sculptural form, seems in my opinion to be lacking in efficiancy and practicality of function. In some instances, this compromise is accepted, however I don't believe such a compromise to be necessary here and is something i intend to improve in my own interpretation. The other main concept that is striking in Utzon's concept is the amount of space invisible from the land. the subterranean surprise is a component i will choose to retain. These are various images that in some way or another reflect the original concept of Jorn Utzon's museum of fine arts.

Assignment 3 - Silkeborg collage

This is a collage i have made in photoshop of a few of Utzon's sections. I uploaded the first version, an earlier draft, to show how the seperate sections form one image in the second collage. The second collage would clearly be fairly deceptive in presenting the true form of Utzon's structure if seen as an independant entity, especially if the observer had no prior exposure to the sections.

Interesting bit of text

................................................................................................................

Turning and turning in the widening gyre

The falcon cannot hear the falconer;

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;

Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,

The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;

The best lack all conviction, while the worst

Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand;

Surely the Second Coming is at hand.

The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out

When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi

Troubles my sight: a waste of desert sand;

A shape with lion body and the head of a man,

A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,

Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it

Wind shadows of the indignant desert birds.

The darkness drops again but now I know

That twenty centuries of stony sleep

Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

Below is just something i wrote that reflects the shipwreck at Disaster Bay even after the light house was built, the SS Ly-ee-moon sunk in May 1886, 71 were lost to the sea. the keepers able to save only 15

................................................................................................................

Finally the day breaks,

and the shards peirce glass to glass

Finally the night takes

with conversations heart to heart

For this summer sang a sadder song

but soon it too shall pass

with but one light to brave the dark

its will would never last

71 and 15

carved black upon our whitestone

later prays tomorrow

rise gold as flags are flown

and on the waves ride those who saw

the darker parts of depth

and in regret drowned eyes and breath

drink silence what is left

Assignment 2 ideas (Jean Nouvel)

This is pretty much the epitome of awesomeness though i don't think it has been built yet. The architect Jean nouvel won the pritzker architecture prize for his design.

Images from here. more to look at there.
