COLLISION
Instructor: Pooyan Ruhi | Kiara Hiatt | Spring 2022 | WSOA
Deconstructing Western Architecture with the inspiration of mosques and bathhouses from the Middle East. The relationship between the mass and the ground object represents the collision of transitional forms into traditional forms. The voids in the sectional objects and the spaces in between the sectional objects creates unique moments. The movement between interior and exterior spaces that feel interior, but are still open to the natural elements through voids and apertures.
