material study: trying to gather actual materials to represent each level of the house

1 stained concrete

2  polished steel

3 earth (to represent being underground)

 I then did the same but in a more detailed way by using textures / photos of the actual material used and translated that into the plan

in doing this, i started to see the combination of materials and the contrasts of the rough and refined materials used

rem uses mixed material and works in

c o n t r a s t s

using cheap with expensive and rough with refined materials together

the relationship of these materials create a sensuality with the textures and plays a more important role in the house than what most think.
