250 Words on Redesign
The Silkeborg Museum that I would redesign would be mainly based on the original design of Utzon’s with alterations with the interior of the building. Though, in relation to the geographic location of the actual building would be to have it in a more open space without buildings close to it as well as having a mountainous backdrop when viewed from the entrance of the building.
The main alteration of the interior would be the ramp as I believe it doesn’t really allow for simple movement and thus has bad movement flow. The alterations that I’m considering would be either have a ramp that allows for fluid movement of people or staircase/stairwells that can allow for people to move from one level to another. This also means how the people can circulate between every room and floor. This means that it gives the individual a certain set path of walking around the museum, but will also allow for traveling to specific section in the museum. As for material of the building I would be going for a smooth white ceramic/stone look with wood panels and/or wooden structures to give it a natural look.
With the exterior, I would choose the open area with a mountainous backdrop is to be a scenic viewpoint. I choose a mountainous backdrop because I believe that this would emphasize the curves that Utzon has originally designed. This would then emphasize on an organic look of the building with how the building mimics the curves of the background. The exterior of the building is decent looking to me, though having a covered pathway leading to the museum is aesthetically pleasing, and also allows for easy viewing of where the main entrance of the building is. The materials I would use would be the same as the interior, but maybe having steel or ceramic roofing for the walkway.

Week 8: 250 Words - Ambigous Aspects
The Silkeborg Museum by Jørn Utzon is an unfinished project that has many interpretations as well as re-designs of the museum. The exterior of the building is done so that it doesn’t affect the surrounding environment, therefore, the m ain structure and display space of the building is below ground. There is not much to talk about the exterior of the structure as Utzon’s main focus was on the interior of the building and how the artwork inside would be perceived.
The main system to allow for access of the building was through ramp systems. Though, the idea of the ramp system to allow for different qualities of natural lighting was a positive, though the design does not have an aesthetic feel. The ramps could be redesign to go around the whole building instead of going through the middle of the building. This then allows for different placing of objects in different areas. This could also allow for placing large sculptural work or large painting to be hanged in the middle of the building which would allow for more focus on the artwork. The ramp going around the building would also allow for a complete look around the objects as well giving different perspective views of the object being displayed.
In conclusion, I believe that the complete interior structure of the building is well designed except for the ramp. Therefore, for my redesign of the building, I would depict the ramp as the most ambiguous and main focus of redesigning it.

Photo Gallery Layout
I have decided to create a gallery of pictures that I render or find from textbooks and the internet. The layout of it, from a brief sketch can seen below:
Site Layout
I'm intending to use the same layout as my website that I had created from Benv1042. The web pages will be integrated into it, and follow the same style as all the other pages. This can be seen at adleyyuen.myhosting247.com/index.html

Dana House
Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in the 1900's. There where restrictions on the way the building was to be designed and it is also very grand. There was a lot of money spent on the building of this building. This house was a showcase for Wright's Prairie Style. It reflected Susan Lawrence Dana's flamboyant personality and Dana's and Wright's mutual love of Japanese prints and drawings. The house was designed for display and entertainment. An arched doorway admitted guests into a series of expanding spaces, the vestibule and reception hall.

Falling Water
Another building designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. The structural design for Fallingwater was undertaken by Wright in association with Mendel Glickman and William Wesley Peters who had been responsible for the design of the revolutionary columns. At the time of its construction, the house cost a total of $155,000. Broken down as follows: house $75,000, finishing and furnishing $22,000, guest house, garage and servants quarters $50,000, architect's fee $8,000. Accounting for inflation, this translates to about $2.3 million in 2007 dollars

Koshino House
Building designed by Todao Ando. Koshino House was built at Ashiya, Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, in 1981.

2 Videos of The Beast's Dwelling
Video 1
Video 2
After looking at the images you may wonder what had happened to the mountains in the clip. My sandbox is actually really big, therefore as I an moving around to make the scenes, it is very laggy and I am unable to get it to go to my preferred angles without doing something random. Therefore I choose to do the videos without the mountains.

Looking from this last picture I would like to explain the usage of this space. The bottom is the entrance. This space can also be used by the creature to stage fights with other creatures. Then the building down the middle is it's sleeping area, on the left is entertainment area and on the right is eating area.
