Karen Clemminson Reserch

Karen Cleminson's Designs seam to dig down into the landscape and attempt to hide themselves through their lightness. I have noticed that she has incorporated some cubist themes in her work (eg the front door of her house) and natural themed elements (eg: the trusses of the swimming pool roof). I think my monument for her must convey these design features if its to really embody her style.

Cleminson's House

"while Blågård Seminarium and Enghavegård School both have a more international Cubist appearance with glazed facades and flat roofs. Subsequent educational institutions such as Højstrupgård and the LO-skole in Helsingør also had an atrium yard as their central feature as well as structures of various sizes to suit the needs of the courses to be taught. Care was also taken to provide a high level of interior decoration with the assistance of appropriate experts. The swimming facilties at Kildeskovhallen (1972) in Gentofte present an elegant blend of modern and traditional design with huge glazed facades looking out towards the forest." - Wikipedia

Final Monuments

Principally, the 'electroliquid Aggergation' of my two monuments is the beach below, where students of Arch comp, Arch and Engineering with arch will come together, share ideas and generally socialise/party (which is the crux of a healthy student).

The connections between each monument also come in the form of 'framed' views between the two. Dorte Mandrup's monument is more typically composed through a timber frame and highlighted by the glowing transparent box that focus's the view.

by contrast to Dorte's monument, Karen Clemnenson's monument is more of a broken frame with each component of the structure cantilevering over and through each other. This gives a light feel to the monument typical to Clemenson Designs and frames the valley  the beach, the sky and most importantly Dorte Mandrup's monument, creating a metaphysical 'electroliquid Aggergation' between the two monuments.

Dorte Mandrup Research

Dorte Mandrup - Red Nest Cabin

"Red Nest  is a small prefabricated studio box designed as a detached unit in connection with a private holiday home in northern Sealand.

Despite the small size, the cabin is designed for both sleeping and working. One door, one window, one rooflight, one bed, one shelf, one table - everything you need.

Inside the box everything is clad in waxed birch-plywood. Facades are clad with vertical oiled Tuja  lists." - Dorte Mandrup Arkitektur

Dorte Mandrup - Skansen House

Inspired by these two structures by Dorte and other building of her's, I have decided to make a boxy structure of wood and other materials whilst still incorporating some sort of angles (like Vanloos School) to embody her style of architecture.

Environment Photos

The above winter landscape of frost trees and shrubbery is in Denmark, a country in Scandinavian northern Europe. The days are short there with sunsets typically occurring at 3:45pm.

Danish beach in the winter this is really informative as I'm wanting to make the place for the students to meet at a winter beach.

Lastly, is a close shot of the tree's and the rolling landscape of Denmark.

these three images are really helpful to me when creating my environment as both my architects are Danish women and I feel that the landscape should also reflect the architect's environment.
