Piccinini's Studio was really simple in terms of shape and texture. "Keep it simple stupid" was the motto for her studio, very elemental without loosing it's wow factor. Peter Zumthor was kinda the inspiration for it. his works don't necessarily make use of overly complicated materials but they still have an overwhelming presence.
I wanted to express the physicality of each material; the timber against the smooth concrete, or the contrast between textured porous and smooth concrete in the outdoor steps.
My favorite work from Zumthor would be the Brother Klaus Field Chapel in Germany simply due to the way he used wood and concrete to produce an unbelievable texture and space. I want to be able to replicate the same maner in which he expressed the quality of each material used; even though it's prsence is no longer there, the marks it leaves behind while moulding the concrete would still be there.
