VARIATIONS. Fish as a style in evolution
Fish are a style in the evolution of life in marine environments. Variations and the fish analogy. From structural and stylistic point of view the fish has always been a driver in variations design process. Fish are an expression of excellent performance through integration. They are almost one with their environment. The fish analogy has driven the design to a point of interpretation of features considered key for the success of the double-personality project. Gradually the sum of design elements has become a whole and an integration challenge emerged.
Our main pages present the stages of interpretation, integration and optimization as a coherent and complete variation of a designed based research for building for people, in and around water.
The project has evolved from analogy to a hybrid architectural species.
What makes fish successful in their environments? Is it their aqua-dynamic shape?, their flexible bone-structure? or is it an integration of the two along with the structure of the skin, breathing capacities, buoyancy capabilities?
Rather than creating a building that looks like a boat, or a floating house, VARIATIONS learns from integrating aspects like skin, structure, shape into a specific environment. The matter of integration ultimately influences design decisions deciding what feature becomes part of the design and critically assesses how/if these features work well together.
VARIATIONS. Skin as performance, performance as style
VARIATIONS. Interior as variations of moods
Style comes from behaviour. Or. Behaviour as a definition of style.
