When I looked at the building for the first time, it struck me as being extreme and bold. The whitewash walls and unique silhouette make it difficult to blend well with the surroundings and make it stand out among any background. So I decided to take that concept, of the building and its surrounding and thought what if I could make it so it blended perfectly with its environment so it almost becomes a part of the terrain, without altering the buildings originality. And the only environment where this could be possibly would have to be extreme and bold much like the structure itself, and so I developed my idea of combining the Vitra Design Museum and the Italian Alps. A white scenic background for this whitewash building makes a strong statement that no matter how dramatic one structure can be Mother Nature can always exceed it. I also plan on changing some of the wall colours to emphasise some parts of the building, while still managing to incorporate the environment's elements. I intend on incorporating some modern Mediterranean architectural elements, which would be a drastic contrast but I believe in the end will come up looking quite beautiful, and most importantly unique.
