Architecture on a diet

 

“I do not believe architecture has to speak too much. It should remain silent and let nature in guise of sunlight and wind”  Tadao Ando

 “Ornament is Crime” Adolf Loos

 

Inspired by Adolf Loos’s dictum, this project became another experiment in minimal architecture with a touch of cubism. I moved one step further to reduce not only material types but also colours. I decided to use just black and white and pure geometry forms arranged by clean lines. Obviously, I had issues such as overlooking, which the design successfully resolved by introducing boxes and angled perforated screens for windows.
