Perhaps the most renowned aspect of Kundigs designs are his gizmos and gadgets. The sheer sense of delight these induce in users provide a quality that is hard to emulate. Mechanical work is often tricky, yet Kundig seems to come up with the most brilliant solutions at ease.
Once again, the mechanical aspect of Toms work. This time the movement of a mechanical device has yielded a hidden view. Similar to Chicken Point, but a little more subtle, this may form part of my design.
Kundig delights in using large structures, giving man something to measure ourselves against. Something at which we may gaze in awe.
And of course, incorporating the sense of delight we feel when we so easily move these monolithic structures. The exhiliaration is not unlike overcoming a huge obstacle, and inspires a wealth of emotion in user. It also allows us to interact with the buildings, breaking away from the generally static tradition of architecture.
