You are not a reflection of the people who can’t love you.

CRS STUDIO

Core mission of CRS studio : 

to play as a community centre to allow artist and individuals who want to share their creativity.

Approaches/ Concept: 

TRANSCENDENCE, existence or experience beyond the normal or physical level. Form of the space recede and disappear, as if a fog had entered the space and obscured its limits.

Concept illustrated with collage of two 'Seascape' photographs by Hiroshi Sugimoto

Conic Smoothing

The edge of the horizon anchors us, grounding our psyche – we could not live without a horizon line, in an endless world – an endless field of vision would make us feel anxious, forsaken.

The architects hoped that by creating a single crease along the curved walls and ceiling, they would provide the room with "aspects of finitude and infinitude, restriction and openness," reminding occupants that "the edge is meaningful and gives a sense to the space it encloses".

For the Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CHUM), integrating the massive program of a 3,000,000- SF teaching hospital into the dense urban fabric of downtown Montreal led to the challenge of connecting the main hospital with its supporting logistics tower, despite Montreal’s longstanding tradition of saying ‘no’ to these types of above-ground connectors. The Passerelle is designed as a floating lantern over Sanguinet street, marking the entrance to the hospital. The perforations filtering the daylight create an interesting experience from the inside during the day for the staff passing through. At night, it is illuminated from the inside, creating a different experience for passersby on the street below.

Heart Stones

At first, you thought you were alright. You started to pack every heart stones into this piece of paper, while carrying around with this small bag of stones everywhere, smiling and laughing.

Sometimes, you would unwrapped the paper just to see if the heart stones have shrink any inch. You pick up the stones one by one, admiring. The truth is, you were just picking out more and more stones from your heart to be wrap in this paper.

Day by day, the bag just gets heavier and heavier, it’s dragging you. You knew the paper can’t hold any extra weight anymore.

They spills. The stones were everywhere. The piece of paper tore apart. You stood and stared there for a minute. Something just flicks you in your mind. You reach your hand into that pile of stones, pick them up, one in each hand, and you started to throw them furiously, to somewhere that couldn’t be seen in sight.

The heart stones, there were big, there were small, what matters is, you need to leave them, not carrying them around.

Every once and a while, we would get a heart stone, and that’s normal, but don’t you dare hold on , throw it far far away and never turn back to seek for that stone again.

Crescent Dunes by Reuben Wu

From the window of an airplane high above Nevada, the Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Facility is a bright flash on the landscape. You can really only appreciate its enormity from the ground: 1,670 acres of desert blanketed with 10,347 billboard-sized mirrors that generate enough electricity to power 75,000 homes.The power plant sits outside Tonapah, a dot in the desert midway between Las Vegas and Reno. Each mirror is 37 feet wide and 24 feet tall, and focuses thermal energy on a tower filled with molten salt, which is used to generate steam, which spins turbines that generate electricity.

Reuben Wu first saw the sprawling solar farm a few years ago flying from Chicago to San Francisco. “I was startled by how bright it was,” he says. “It looked like a fake sun.”He finally visited the place in March. He worked at dusk and dawn, when the light is best and the mirrors make their most dramatic movements to align with the sun. Despite their size, they move almost silently amid the sound of the wind blowing through the structures.  Wu used a Phase One 100XF camera for stills and a Canon 5D to make a time-lapse video of the array following the sun, with music composed by Zak Marcom. He even got to drive under the mirrors. “It was like being in a forest of metal and glass,” Wu says. A forest of metal and seen from the sky but best appreciated from the ground.
