andy goldsworthy
collaboration with [nature]
understanding nature by directly interacting with it (process and participation)
nature is in a state of change
cycles: life/death - ephemeral
beauty is close to pain and fragility
pieces created for the moment
essence of work revolves around the idea of creation and decay
sense of place+found material
show possibilities/something to be discovered

christo
[nature] and architecture
concealing to reveal
beauty is truth and truth is beauty (Keats)
uncover, to make visible what is hidden from our daily experience of the environment (truth)
the added layer only dramatizes the nature of what is already there
impermanence of work |

sverre fehn
confrontation with [nature]
'building is a brutal act, a battle, an attack of culture directed against nature'
projects:
World's End Art Gallery
dramatic site, crevice
Fehn fills crevice, erases [natural] topography (attack?)
Glacier Museum
Juxtaposition of man-made and natural elements
construction techniques a strong element of architeccture
architectonic equation: view gives space, space gives light, light gives structure, structure gives materials, materials give dimensions, dimensions give joints, joints give technique...

holl and highstein
[natural] materials
ephemeral structure
tactile and sense oriented architecture
experiential inside vs architectural outside
idea of construction with 'almost nothing': forzen water has almost no embodied energy as it naturally froze and will melt away
replaces the familiar, permanent materials of art and architecture with the unusual, ephemeral element of water in its frozen form
