Week 12 Building Program & Integrity


Site area



In many ways, a building's structure is like a human skeleton, and the building materials that cover it - glass panel, plaster,and so on - are like skin and clothes. The structure gets stressed when loads are placed upon it, and it strains under the pressure. No matter what its size, the structure will always choose the easiest route when channeling loads to the ground.


Here is a demonstration of structural and operational integrity of the physical spaces.

Integration of the Garden of Solitude



Determined building form





The Garden of Solitude is a generous and flexible building and its spaces should have a personality that are clear and not confusing. It also must be a beautifully composed architecture - not high modernist's great plea - but specific in purpose and perfectly formed. Simplicity is key of the Garden of Solitude. Simply but beautiful, indeed, refreshing....like an iceberg.
