Development: Rem Koolhaas monument cont.d




I've placed my second development of Rem Koolhaa's monument here according to one of the ideas I had but the design looked very out of place and the relationship with the environment were hardly visible.


 


To create a relationship between my monument and the environment, I took another one of my ideas and edited my terrain to create a space where the monument could be placed and also be linked to the environment. The empty space in the above image is the area which is created for the monument's placement.





 There is a clear relationship between Rem Koolhaas's monument and the environment as the monument achieves high stability by how the roof is fixed in to the surrounding terrain. This explains why the roof is angled because the two sides of the terrace beside the monument are in different height, one lower than the other, so the roof has to be angled for both sides of the roof to be fixed in to the terrace. Also, this placement of monument does not interrupt the  horizontal curve of the terrace, so the monument doesn't look out of place.
