SAARINEN: Anthropomorphism
Numerous angled columns similar to tree/swedish spruce
Topographic circular path similar to eye, both organic forms

SAARINEN: Circulation defined by the organic
360 access needs 360 path which spirals inwards to continue spiral motion up spiral stairs
360 access needs 360 path which spirals inwards to continue spiral motion up spiral stairs
SAARINEN: Framing the External Envrionment
Columns frame external environment as well as small rectangular windows
SAARINEN: Visual Vectors create juxtoposition between exterior and interior spaces
Outside straight vertical vectors contrast circular and spiral spatial flow of inside
HERZOG + DE MEURON: Negative space used to define the facade
Vertical columns create the exterior facade which are separated to create inverted negative forms
HERZOG + DE MEURON: Illusion of no walls
Up close or inside the structure opens the negative space to show less wall space
HERZOG + DE MEURON: Stacked Geometry
Diagonal vectors stacked horizontally
