ArkDes Collection

Themed Tour: Contrasts

Photo: Sima Korenivski. 2024.

How can contrasts and opposites become creative driving forces? How does architecture highlight differences in form, function and material?

And which ideas have stood in stark contrast to one another? Welcome to a guided tour where we explore contrasting examples in ArkDes Collection. We look at unexpected functions brought together, widely different scales within the same setting, and architecture that positions itself as the direct opposite of its historical predecessors. The tour shows how contrasts not only shape architecture but actively drive it forward.
