// AWAY

Unfortunately, I won't be there today for studio due to a family emergency last minute.

My preference is for you stick around and press on with studio - I'm sure Russell or Jacky will assist you in today's class.

My apologies if this has caused any inconvenience.

// CONCEPTS

Today's concepts below:

Carlo Scarpa

• Design to elude time.
• Landscape synthesised with architecture.
• Locally influenced through production and materials - embodies a strong sense of context.
• Profound incorporation of traditional crafts.
• Interplay of materials and forms at both the micro and macro scale.

Olson Kundig

• Ascension the ground plane.
• Collaboration to create unique responses, e.g. in detail, planning, art, etc.
• Spaces form ambiguous boundaries.
• Architecture seen as kinetic and dynamic - embodies the machine.
• Architecture as a vehicle between nature, culture and people.
