Final Submission:

















As the thoery is mainly about ecological design, the bridge will not affect the original beauty of this landform or pollute the environment, furthermore, it can even decorate and make the place more charming. The bridge is in wave form which makes it become part of the river. The bridge also allows passengers to move between differents heights of the mountain.

MashUp:



Modern architecture advocates ecological design.  Modern architecture developed as a result of social and political revolutions. Ecological design is an integrative ecologically responsible design discipline. It helps connect scattered efforts in green architecture, sustainable agriculture, ecological engineering, ecological restoration and other fields. There are multiple lenses through which the evolution of modern architecture may be viewed. . The ecological movement of the late twentieth-century is based on understanding that disruptions in these relationships has led to serious breakdown of natural ecosystems. Some historians see it as a social matter, closely tied to the project of Modernity and thus the Enlightenment. Others see Modern architecture as primarily driven by technological and engineering developments. In human history, technological means have resulted in growth of human populations through fire, implements and weapons Still other historians regard Modernism as a matter of taste. The inchoate developing nature of ecological design was referred to the “adding in “of environmental factor to the design process, but later it was focused on the details of eco-design practice such as product system or individual product or industry as a whole.

Final Submission :










This the the dark textures used in   CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH's monuments. This monuments looks simple. After the texture is applied, this monuments becomes greener than before.


This is the medium texture used in the meeting place. The texture looks  natural and decorates the architecture, so that it will not be weird if this architecture situated in a green
vertical urbanism.




This is the light texture used in KEN YEANG's monument. There is a main block in the middle and a few small columns beside. This creates an idea of urbanism. The texture is very simple, but it also presents the same idea as the monument.

The two chosen architects are C.R. Mackintosh and Ken Yeang.

 For CHARLES RENNIE MACKINTOSH, the chosen concepts are:

1. Believes in the juxtaposition of right angles and organic forms.

2. Buildings are not machines for living but works of art.

3. Life is the leaves that shape and nourish a plant, but art is the flower.

4. His concerns were to build around the needs of people, people seen as masses.

5. Use of simple forms and natural materials.

6. Injection of humanism into the architecture.

                                                                   

 For KEN YEANG, the chosen concepts are:

1. Ecologist first and Architect second

2. Believes in vertical green urbanism

3. Architects should integrate manufacturers elements in the natural environment

4. He seeks to revitalize architecture as a craft, rather than an engineering problem

5. A locality's climate is probably its most durably endemic characteristic

6. [In architecture] propositions can progress (and then be tested) only where they are permitted by external
constraints
