When a place is a result of nature and time, it is a frame of nature. When a form is made by architectonic ideas, it is architecture. The, architecture and nature, are the frames of each other; they contrast and compromise each of their own essences.

-Overview of the site (day)-

 -Architectonic- 

Developed forms are put together to convey the idea of function driven shape. This monument is jointed and support by Mortise and Tenon. Light and dark textures are used and divided between faces of the monument; in reference to the idea of form being determined by purpose and reasons.

- A Frame of Nature-

A place (a monument) being the product of nature and time. Growth and organic shapes are the essence of nature, they are both echoed through the organic shape of this monument. Medium texture in curved form resonates the impression of nature, further demonstrating the monument being a frame (a vessel) that contains nature's characteristic.

-The Bridge-

Serving as the joint of two concepts and a gathering point. Elements of both monuments are reflected and merged into a meeting place of two contrasting style - reinforcing the relationship between architectonic and architecture being a frame of nature.
