LECTURE7: The Black Box

The image above shows a very simple building shape compared to other

images from Lecture7 Black Box. The building consists of a simple box and

a flat wall. there are no curves and complex intersections, but simple shapes are

showing their adventages in this image. Strong and clean shadows made

by simple shapes make the impressive atmosphere I like. Also repeated

walls and ceiling and floor, which are symmetrical with respect to the horizontal

plane, help to define the space and provide a stable mood. By using the same

colour-white-in every place which surrounds the building, people are made

to focus on the main building.
