Jorn Utzon
This unique piece of architecture embodied the concept of 'modules' as the repetitive nature of the four separate blocks was formed naturally through an additive or organic form and although it is simple geometrically, the links between the geometrical properties is decievingly complex. From this architecture i added these concepts to monument of 'modules' as it unites mental and physical order and geometry and building.
Can Lis is a house the Danish architect Jørn Utzon built for his wife Lis and himself near Portopetro on the Spanish island of Majorca. Completed in 1971, it consists of four separate blocks linked together by walls and courtyards.
BIG
Mountain Dwellings is an award-winning building in the Ørestad district of Copenhagen, Denmark, consisting of apartments above a multi-storey car park. The apartments are scaling the diagonally sloping roof of the parking garage, from street level to 11th floor, creating an artificial, south facing 'mountainside'. Each apartment has a "backyard" on the roof of the in front, lower-level apartment. The resulting courtyard panthouses are an attempt to balance "the splendours of the suburban backyard with the intensity of an urban lifestyle". Throughout the building, it plays on a mountain metaphor as well as the clash between the urban vibe of the interior parking space as well as the surroundings and the peaceful and organic hillside. This embodied the concept of a 'building as a landscape' as well as 'yes is more'.
