| * this project has inspired me in so many ways; architecture for events, specifically those of temporary events- ones that last a few weeks a year. what other program, if any, can be introduced in the building(s). in the case above, the building blends with the landscape, and hence the grandstand imitates the presence of a mount. in my thesis, i will continue exploring the issue of designing a permenant structure for temporary events (for a specific event) combining fantasy and reality; cirque du soleil. |
