Electroliquid Aggregation of two models --> One from Gang and one from Goldberg

CONCEPTS

Goldberg:
"Certain buildings, even neighborhoods, can’t be altered without being ruined. But all buildings exist in the real world, as do we"
"Current American architecture is not a matter of art but of business. A building must pay or there will be no inverstor ready to meet its cost. This is at once the curse and the glory of American architecture." Barre Ferrree
Nature isn't filled with right-angles
Architecture suffers at the hands of its functionality
Good architecture predicts the movement of time and accommodates it.
Landmarks transcend time, however the immortality of monuments is an obstacle in front of scientific progress - meeting the needs of the science of today.
Goldberg thoroughly believed to design a "city with a city" that could fully accommodate people's everyday needs and activities.
Separate components integrated together to give the structure a sense of rhythm and curvilinear form. Replication of elements and varying scales.

the sky's the limit

1. Seperation/Integration + Unique

- "Every building is a product and comes with a unique set of purposes,(+) this can be established through the combination of separate components which give a sense of rhythm"

2. Unusual + Nature

- Nature does not often contain right angles and when this concept is applied to a building, it can be transformed to something unusual and beautiful

3. Functionality + Pioneer

- Though architecture suffers at the hands of functionality, a pioneer will allow themselves to transform a structure to suit their aims and goals.
