[OSCAR NIEMEYER]
- Expressing the fluid material property of concrete through form.
- Heaviness of the material vs. the aesthetic lightness of form.
- Volumetric addition and subtraction as a formal strategy.
- Purity of the whole without recognisable parts.
- "Form follows beauty" The hedonistic privileging of beauty instating the curve as an ideal.
- Monumentality as a result of the lack of recognisable scale indicators.
- The promenade towards/throughout the architecture as a human experience of space.
- Porosity of surface/ space.
- Continuity of surface/space.
- Biomimmicry as a structural strategy.
- Play of light and shadow to create ever-changing ephemeral space.
- Material junction as structural strategy.
- Material junction as ornament.
- Aesthetic lightness.
