Design using Contrast

The previous two designs (original 'folie' and 'folie to building') focused on the use of raw materials to create a structure which focused on harsh, linear geometry. To heighten this experience I decided to employ the idea of contrast. In this case the harsh linearity of the primary structure in the center of the design is heightened by the use of a fluid-form outer shell. The stark difference in aesthetics complements each other and engages the viewers attention. The bright luster of the copper-clad outer shell compared to the dullness of the cast concrete further enhances the sensory experience.
