The meeting of a horizontal and a vertical plane. The Rolex Learning Center. A reference to Measures.

A common denominator: Levitation.

Taken by the way the Rolex Center seemed to rise up and separate from the ground, we began to study the initial curve.

After a week of brainstorming and modelling potentials, we found a few integral elements to the project, as well as a coherent form for our project to take. 

The "integral elements":

• A curved plane that follows the rising of the Rolex above head height.
• This plane is suspended from the vertical plane.
• The vertical plane is formed by columns of the same, or similar, composition to those of last year's Houses project.
• A structural horizontal plane that supports the vertical and hold the cables.

The "coherent form":

The model on site:

The project overall reminds us of the for of Le Corbusier's Weissenhof building in Stuttgart, Germany:

"But, how will that hold?"
