Itus

The concept of RIVER WEST ITUS was derived from a visceral site response wherein a specic experience on
site was taken into account and became the point of departure.
This notion led to the justaposition between movement and disability, which as a result came across
between human movement and osteoporosis; a medical condition in which the bones become brittle and
fragile from loss of tissue or deminiralisation of the bone.
Two essential characteristics were particularly observed and incorporated into the design; 1. the layering
eect that the medical condition leaves on the bone and 2. the structural aesthetic that it leaves upon.

Comment by RWNB on June 19, 2012 at 8:56am: i do not care whether the king wearing clothes or not.
ultimately it depends on the internal values, or? (:

Comment by Danny Boyes on June 19, 2012 at 7:36am: Hi ayg011, sorry to take it out of context like that I just assumed with your previous discussions that this was somehow linked.

@Rassul no need to be sorry, that's constructive.

I think "Look the Emperor has no clothes" type argument is a perfectly valid and much needed viewpoint. What I don't wish to happen is for someone's contribution to be the subject of ridicule without the reasons behind the viewpoint that something is ridiculous.

Somehow I have found myself sticking my nose into matters of decency and decorum again for which I apologies profusely. I shan't let the door hit me as I leave :)

Comment by RWNB on June 19, 2012 at 7:08am: Addendum. (:

architecture as a form is communication with its environment, and nothing else.

Comment by ayg011 on June 19, 2012 at 6:51am: @ RWNB: I think rain would be the initial issue

Comment by ayg011 on June 19, 2012 at 6:50am: My comment was sincere, but as Andrews post appears to be geniune then my original comment can very easily be taken out of context.

Comment by RWNB on June 19, 2012 at 6:04am: hi andrew,

then it would be useful to extend the grass area?

Comment by Andrew Le on June 19, 2012 at 5:52am: Hi guys, this is purely a conceptual design in regards to a given brief for a design studio.

The image is basically evocative/atmospheric rather than indicative of any structural form.

Comment by RWNB on June 19, 2012 at 5:31am: e.g. what happens if there is flooding?

sorry danny. (:
