Final Submission of images
This image of the model emphasizes the importance of connecting the landscape with the model. It takes Gaudi's style "Imagination confined within the rules" and combines it with Co-op Himmelb(l)au's style "Architecture in clouds" to add a sense of serenity to the overlooking structure.
This angle directly portrays the purpose of the structure as an ending to a hiking journey. Evident are the 5 textures used on the building itself as well as people walking to indicate the size of the structure. Again, stressing the importance of the original landscape connecting with the building.
This landscape shot portrays the monument along with its surrounding land form. The importance of electroliquid aggregation is evident through this connection in keeping within Gaudi's style and fusing it with Co-op Himmelb(l)au's style.
The hiking path is shown through this path along with the view in the background and the destination (building structure) within reach.
The different textures are portrayed and shown how they combine to add Gaudi's and Co-op Himmelb(l)au's style to the building.

Draft Images of model
Although more than 10 components (5 from each shape) are acceptable, the challenge in creating something valuable and functional with no more than 10 components is represented in the draft images above.
Axonometric Drawings
Antoni Gaudi
1. Imagination confined within the rules.
2. Regular shapes projected in an irregular way.
3. An artist must obey creation. Reconcile architecture and nature. Write a story about the land.
4. A transcendental form which arouses faith, belief and hope.
5. Gaudi's emotional treatment of material and structure give expression to natural forms in architecture.
6. Spatial uncertainty, concept of structures with limitless space; its feeling of sequence, fragmented with holes and partitions, which create a divide without disrupting the feeling of open space by enclosing it with barriers.
Coop Himmelb(l)au
1. Surreal curvature of construction exceeding the boundaries of expectation.
2. Basic shapes tilted and slanted within the landscape so that it appears to defy the laws of physics.
3. Embrace of imbalance, distortion, fragmentation and chaos.
4. Structures are not fixed realities but shells for intervention.
5. Extolled the virtues of an architecture: "that bleeds, exhaust that turns of even breaks."
6. "Plenum (a space completely filled with matter). Places of Power."
7. "Reflects and give mirror image of variety and vivaeilty, tension and complexity of our cities."
8. "Architecture in clouds."
