The idea behind this project was to create a monument space where students from different faculties are able to 

congregate and communicate with each other. The monument design and driving concept was based on a combination of earlier concepts developed in the earlier weeks. 

The concept used for this design was to

"Create a free flowing architecture that adapts to its natural surroundings"

Expanding from the original axonometric drawings from the earlier weeks, I decided to focus on a free flowing form of architecture. This is seen through the transition and the combination of the rectilinear form and the curvature form into the one monument space. 

I have also decided to adapt the curvature form into the "space in between" to create a transitional bridge between the two elements where students are able to gather together on either side of the protruding platforms. These protruding platforms also allows the architecture to adapt to its surroundings. 

The free flowing architecture is more prominent on the curvature side, but it can also be seen in the rectilinear form as there are no breaks or subdivisions on the rectilinear form but rather one smooth continuous form, that interweaves with itself.
