Landscape based on the Interpretation of the painting.

The assignment, then, is twofold: develop a landscape or topographic condition based on a sectional reading/interpretation of the painting and, second, to introduce architectural elements where defined architectural environments need to be created.  To do this, we had to choose a Le Corbusier building.  The building that i picked to study is his Villa Shoden. I took may characteristics from this building and related them into my landscape.  But for me the thought of total freedom of this project had me lost, yet made me look at it in a very different way.  When everything is in front of you what do you choose to do.  The characteristics that i found in his villa were:  Thick roof slabs, Raised roof slabs, Right angles, Stairs that break the plain, Main building and secondary building, Ramp, Narrow walkways, and spaces that are linked together in complex ways.  For me it wasn't so much about taking these concepts and putting them onto a landscape but more of creating a landscape around the building and the building creating the landscape.  From this you will find that it becomes more of a man-made feel, not as natural.  So it doesn't look like a hilly landscape you might see but more of a step topography.
