design, influence, style
Conceptual drawings of the 3d modelled house displayed in the Marvel movie Iron Man designed from the style and existing works of John Lautner. The site is Point Dume in Malibu, California, inside The California State Park.
This picture above encompasses the way in which i wish to re-represent the Silkeborg Museum.
The notion of having it hanging off a cliffside with the supported of fluid-like pylons

Concept and Direction for Silkeborg (250)
The concept for my re-interpretation of the Silkeborg Museum comes from the prop set and digital model of Tony Stark's house from the movie Iron Man. The two reasons for this is that the building was designed from the style and existing works of John Lautner whose work is incredible, the second reason being that the site of the building was on one of the most sought after landscapes, the peninsula of Point Dume in Malibu, California. The fact that the context for this building site is The California State Park makes it even more sought after as the land rights would surely be hard to get. On the point of the Silkeborg I find that because Utzon draws his inspiration indirectly from the ocean (via ships, boats etc.), that Point Dume would be a appropriate site for its context where the building could overlook the water and its sea habouring vessels.
The prop building from Iron Man, drawn from John Lautner's work I feel has something to offer the Silkeborg from the way they both share a dynamic fluid look, soft curves and give off a feeling of aesthetic appreciation. I would also like to give the Silkeborg the same look of being able to sit on the cliff yet appear as if extending as part of it, the way in which I intend to do this is using same idea of curved supporting struts. This idea I feel will also help reflect Utzon's emphasis on the psychological effect of caves and that transition into architecture. By also planning to embed the building into cliff so as to make it more of a cave I hope to further the effect that Utzon decribes of the Yun Kang caves.
My three chosen words are Fluid, Encapsulating and Sentient.

if only it was finished
On the Utzon center, they are scanning all of Utzon's original drawings with a estimated 12,000 that will be made accessible to researchers and students.
However the scanning and registering the drawings is expected to last three years.

descriptive style
"Utzon has created a style marked by monumental civic buildings and unobtrusive housing projects. He incorporates the balanced discipline of Asplund, the sculptural quality of Alvar Aalto, and the organic structures of Frank Lloyd Wright into his designs. Influenced by architectural tradition, he attempts to create architecture for living that adheres to a strict structural and constructive process."
