Chosen Textures

Dark

Medium

Light

Light

The light texture has been applied to Seijima's monument as it mainly consists of a large open space and in an interview Seijima mentioned focusing on fluiditiy and non-linear pathways within designing circulation within their building. So I believed a more curved less linear texture was fitting.

Medium

The medium texture was applied to the transition meeting space between both monuments combining both the 'dark' and 'light' concepts of Seijima and Tange providing a transition between both areas

Dark

The dark texture was used to cover Tange's monument as it seemed fitting that his 'bunker style' monument would fit the dark texture in which the black almost encases and devours the white, similar to how the monument encases the people within.
