Peter Stutchbury
Kazuo Shinohara
A mix of formality and informality
è Leads to blurring of spaces
è Framing of nature
The unification of inside and out by blurring the definition of windows and doors


And framing a view of nature

Uses whats in immediate and far away, like the horizon line.

Peter Is green.

Blends in with the natural world

Tries to achieve maximum comfort by minimal means

Use of thin materials to minimise the distinction between the constructed and the natural world (mention view/visual)

Materials purity

Blurring between interior and exterior
Connection between build and natural landscape

The effect of time on natural light, thus the shadows

A play of natural lighting through slits in the walls and roof

(connected to linking nature and building)


Using appeal to multiple audiences for both interior and exterior, interior appeals to more childish audience

Roofs were slanted.
Reinterpretation of minimalism and simplicity

Reinterp of traditional symbols and purist values through opposites such as symmetry and asymm,,division and connection.

-

Creates an illusion of large space in his building using high walls and single elements which stands out visually from the ground floor

The use of simple geometry shapes to create a simple but savage piece of architecture

Use of logical shape to create illogical (non-straight line) movement

He likes his buildings to be incomplete, like artpieces.

-Works on the boundary of chaos (city) and order harmony (architecture). Scale…
Parts to sum relationship
Components to whole relationship
In isolation vs. in context…

Progressive anarchy

Beauty of chaos
Appreciation of chaos

Structured chaos
-conflicting shapes to the point where it becomes unified.

Tradition culture for “Ukiyo-E” museum

Mode of living and traditional structure
Looks like the building’s skeleton
The skeleton is the part of the building that is playing the structural role

simplicity
