The final level in crysis:

The landscape shown here is tropic environment which has river and waterfall.

This is chosen because the concepts from two architects have connection with the natural environment.  Bright sunlight is used to bath two models so as to give a warm, fresh environment.

Two monuments:

Conceptual monument for Griffin:

Concepts used to develop this monument:

1. Use simple, unified forms to reduce the visual business of the building.
2. Use flat roofs and try to use these roofs. 

This monument tried to be as simple and open as it can, to let visitors engage in the environment
From different levels, it connect to different views of the landscape surrounded it, which is very close to it. The roof is used to covers lower levels and serves as a platform to show the landform to visitors.

During circulation of this monument, the stairs lead us to view the environment all around it.

This pic shows the view at the roof.

Also, unified flat platform pierced by structural columns which suits Griffin's housing style in castlecrag can be seen here.

Birds flying through the monument to bring the whole space alive. Trees are located everywhere when people circulates the whole monument.

The monument tries to fit the natural environment without interruption. Trees can still even grow next to the main supportin column of it.

Light is widely used to both models. In this one, the reflection on the surface of t he entrance stair attract you to get onto different platforms of the monument.

Conceptual monument for Ando Tadao:

Concepts used to develop this monument:
1. use of simple rectangular shape for construction.
2. play a trick on the light effect.

Use of sunlight play an important role in this monument. This idea is inspired by the drafting monument down below, the spread of light really catches my eye.

Light is exposed from the opening, attracts people to have a look at the outside envoronment.

Light exposed from the opening on the top forms a pattern on the ground that leads us to the exit and the window.

This monument looks like a simple box but actually that's not.

Firstly, from an open space, it transfers you into a dark closed place, which you can't see anything.

Therefore people will focus on only light within the box, hence the window and the pattern on the ground.

Then the box leads us to outside with open landscape.

Textures used:

Dark

Medium

 

Light

Textures are applied to both monuments according to several reasons.

It can be seen there is a balance between the platforms and the structural elements. Dark texture is used in the structural element in this monument to promote it's strength, whereas the light texture is applied on the top to give a light, spongy feeling to the roof. So a reduce of weight is done by adding the texture.

Dark texture is applied to inside of Ando's monument so as to provide a dark space to let people focus on the light effect on the floor and the window.
