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
