Coca-Cola > The Bridge > The Meeting Point


Facebook > The Bridge > The Meeting Point

Overview



EXP3 Development of Ideas

The Headquarters
Facebook

  • linear, geometric form >> makes visual reference with the website's profiles, photos, and web layout
  • elongated, out-stretched structure >> refers to Facebook's worldwide popularity of extending across boarders and eventually bringing people together as one
  • the elevator (stone platform) >> stone material links to the surrounding landform and the walls of the connecting tunnel
  • the elevator (white square rings) >> symbolically represent the artificial / man-made social networking world, which points to the technological advancement of the time

Coca-Cola

  • fluid, transformative (in motion) form >> makes visual reference with the Coca-Cola bottle and their signature trade mark
  • open space, little overhead shelter >> refers to the company's strength and successful development through history
  • the elevator >> sphere like with red glass panels 



The Bridge + The Meeting Point

  • CONCEPT: bringing two extraordinary powers together in which they provide help and support for one another
  • simplistic, linear structure >> leveled, clear structure, functional decorations / patterns (i.e. diagonal sheets acts as slumps that connects the main bridge to the meeting point)
  • use of glass >> semi-transparent, suggests the vague yet strong linkage between the companies

Valley of my Origin: Taroko National Park, Hualien, Taiwan

Taroko National Park is located on Eastern Taiwan.  Its mountainous topography characterised most of the area.  This includes: valleys, gorges, mountains, rapid rivers, and waterfalls.   

The Tunnel of Nine Turns is one of Taroko National Park's attractions.  This man made highway penetrates the mountains through winding stone caves and tunnels which creates a  unique experience of having a deep valley on one side of the road and vertical stone cliffs on the other side.

Applied Texture



The proportion of positive and negative spaces increase gradually as it moves to the centre of the architecture.  The light texture is applied on the platforms that connect two areas.  Transparency of this texture creates an indistinguishable boundary between the architecture and landscape.  The dark texture echoes with its surrounded rocky landscape.  This continuity of surfaces also makes the architecture indistinguishable.
