angled architecture...

Within my design, I'm looking to create an angled roof for the pavilions which will enable the solar panels to capture the maximum light possible and create an aesthetically/interesting element to the design...In order to design the impact roof, I have been looking at other pieces of angled architecture for inspiration.

Upon searching for 'angled architecture' I came across a blog which featured some interesting architecture http://funinthegym.blogspot.com/2007_06_01_archive.html.

This web-like sculpture named 'Mist' is constructed from plastic film, bamboo and steel wire. It appeared in 2007 within the Toronto Sculpture Garden. The creator Ludwika Ogorzelec wanted to create a sculpture to articulate invisible space through lines and the space it encloses. I really like how the sculpture blends with its environment and creates an exciting spatial experience. I think I could use the 'spider-web' effect within my design, including a selection of planes from different materials to provide shelter from the elements.

An architect that regularly produces angled architecture is Daniel Libeskind. I have a few selected pieces of Libeskinds work that I find particularly interesting. The first are some of his drawings, created during his time as the head of the Architecture Department at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. They are named 'Chamber Works' - Architectural Meditations on Themes from Heraclitus.

I really like the dynamic of each drawing: how the energy of the act is captured within the drawing. They seem to represent movement within a space, a drawing that I aim to create for my own project. The below set of images are of the London Metropolitan University Graduate Centre and the Military History Museum in Germany. I chose these images as they feature cuts in the exterior surface in order to bring light to the interior surfaces. This technique is something I look to use within my own design, in order to add an extra layer to the shipping container.
