Inside out

Inspiration…
like a lung, emptiness of patios inhales the substance of the surrounding landscape.
Orthogonal design made with slabs, bamboos and birches are absorbed by the vacant space and then, because of the breathing, they are stretched, expended, weakened to spread out to the buildings façades like a textile.

…Exhalation
of distended slabs design are miming the harsh façades and are using it like a distorting mirror.
Breath rejects these slackened lines towards the park where the outstretched weft quietly takes its orthogonal and consistent nature back.
Southern patio exhales a vegetable matter with a fresh shape and with colors mixing pale-green to white. Meanwhile, in the northern patio, a dark red and  purple-tinted vegetation proliferates.
Mixing the air propels and blends matters, mixes colors in the central patio and melts the three courtyards in one and only place.
