 Brutalism

"Leukemia"

This structure represents hospital bed. I made it layered 3 times because it connotes the hardship and struggle my family felt. From a small bed, it becomes larger because it becomes harder. The brutality of this structure is seen through the volumes of rectangular prisms. It also seems to be floating because brutalism suggests the floating of huge volumes.

 High Tech

This structure represents what I felt that time. I was desperate and completely down. I was numb and I didn't cared about what was happening at school. I felt alone in the middle of the chaotic world outside my walls. I was pretending okay, but I wasn't. This structure also connotes high tech architecture because in high tech, everything happens outside so the inside could have flexible and larger space.

Modernism

This is how I represent what I felt when I first heard the news. I was at first calm, hence the horizontal cube. And then I felt really shocked, hence the vertical cube. Modernism Architecture is all about straightforwardness and consistency of structures. It is about honesty and simplicity. It really shows that "form follows function".
