Concept |
|
|
|
The building stands on land of almost unvarying flatness, with a cover of cherry trees. When first visiting the site, I was struck by the quality of "movement" that the Frank O. Gehry "Design Museum" projected so powerfully. Opposite Gehry's architecture of 'movement', I introduced the element of 'stillness'. This involved restraining the 'movement' displayed by visible forms in an attempt to deliver 'invisible movement' to prominence. Choosing the most static of all forms - the square - I employed it in the plan of a sunken court, inset into the flat site. The rectangular volume of the main building interlocks with the court, and is placed nearly halfway below ground to produce an architecture of tranquil presence. This architecture of 'stillness' begins to acquire rich life when the elements of nature - light and wind - and the movement of people are introduced within it. A sculpture by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen - situated amid the tense dialogue of these poles of 'movement' and 'stillness' - looks on, as if enjoying the contrast presented by the two buildings. By thus engaging the buildings in a relationship of tension. My ultimate aim was to produce a place of strongly provocative character.
