Mass & Void (not so crazy) architecture #2 - Kollhoff












Ok, so not as crazy as crazy #1 -Soleri, but an interesting case study nonetheless.

This is Hans Kollhoff at knsm island in Amsterdam with double courtyard brick wraparound.

Particularly interesting is how he creates 3 different types of courtyard with different privacy levels in a single formal move.

    does anyone know what is the function of the pillars/shafts/columns in photo #5? is it some kind of an installation?

    Judging from the plan in the first image, I would guess it's to support the block above structurally.
