More Topos and Massing.

Some of you have started to place your models into Crysis. What I want to see is a landscape that works with the design, rather than generating a flat surface and dropping your architecture into it like an inert object in space. Here are some of last years design to give you an idea of how the landscape/topography can engage with the architecture and so on. 

Not a students design but something where both the topography and architecture work together.

Falling Water - Frank Lloyd Wright

An architecture where the approach is important, where the vertical positioning is important. Think temple on top of a hill. 

Steven Ke

An architecture that interlocks with the landscape.

Keyan Guo

Architecture that hides and conceals itself, where the landscape encloses it. 

Zhiyuan Sun.

Architecture that bridges. Yen Dao (Above) and Chen Tian (Below)
