<\/div>\n
\u00a0Once a while I wrote about Kisho in my assignment, it’s about the assignment of Principles of Architecture 50 pages assignment, I choose KL Sentral as the case study, well basically 50 pages about KL Sentral is underrated, I realised. Simply because you can write tonnes with MRCB Malaysia Resources Corporation Berhad + Kisho Kurokawa = Awesome<\/strong>. I am focusing solely on KL central Transit hub, by the way, however, you do know that the whole KL Sentral is the whole land under MRCB, not just the station alone.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
Hereby I want to mention the great Architect, very interesting indeed, going to explore more of his principles, noted well for his metabolism Movement, which states that Building are meant to replace, move, and transform. Here is a short description of his Project, noted that KLIA is his product too!<\/div>\n

Kisho Kurokawa<\/h1>\n

\"k\"<\/p>\n

When the plans to extend the Van Gogh Museum were in preparation, the Japanese architect Kisho Kurokawa was approached to design the exhibition wing. It was not an idle choice: Kurokawa has been an important international figure in the world of architecture for forty years. The work of Kurokawa (1934-2007) has undergone different styles and followed diverse principles. As a reaction to the rationalism of Modernism, in the 1970s he designed very advanced flexible buildings consisting of separate capsules.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Later he thought primarily in terms of symbiosis, in which he combined the opposites Western\/non-Western, public\/private, and order\/chaos. His work from the last ten years has been dominated by abstract, geometric forms<\/strong>.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
All of Kurokawa\u2019s main principles can be found in the design for the wing of\u00a0the Van Gogh Museum. Symbiosis plays a large role: setting\/architecture, Rietveld building\/extension, and Japanese\/European culture. Kurokawa opted for asymmetry as a response to the Rietveld cube:<\/strong> the building is elliptical in form, and the box-shaped print room has been rotated in relation to the axis of the wing.<\/div>\n
