First Rough Draft of grid layout

Textures - Mash-up

The design I want to create are 'clean' solid forms. Sand is a very clean texture while creating solid sharp forms by shape and by shadows cast from the large disparate elements that are plentiful of Frank Gehry's Vitra Museum.

Re Design Concept

Roman Courtyards are quite orderly and symetrical in there representation, I wish to build an assymetrical courtyard that can express the dynamic extrusions inwardly.

To view the Vitra from afar, I see that it creates a rather interesting sculptural form. My re-invisioned concept is to create a roman style court yard in which the inside walls (of this court yard) are the outside 'sculptural' shapes of the Vitra as we see it. For example the image above could be an inside corner of the court yard. The inside form creating a dynamic space only possible by having the outside face inside.
