When the architect starts to design a building and to bring it into life, there are some steps which are essential and need to be known: It starts with locational analysis (responsibility of town planners and geographers), environmental control (specialist of building design), Judgment over matters of cost (quantity surveyor), interior design (skills of an artist). One word is used for very different concepts such as functional architecture, data architecture, solution architecture or enterprise architecture. In addition, boundaries between architecture and design are unclear. Some say they are similar concepts. Others argue that they are complementary concepts with different levels of abstraction. To do so here are some ways generating 3 dimensional form: 1. Pragmatic 2. Iconic 3. Analogic 4. Canonic -Pragmatic design Design is about making stuff, we make stuff to test our hypotheses. The word pragmatic itself says: dealing with things sen

I think we all have heard the word recreation, because our daily life is connected to the art of recreation, as a visual process. This process is linked mostly with the sense of vision; for example, you see a hand which is painting, but you associate it with a human, and the first impression you get is the man painting a picture. After you see the entire “panorama” you see that the man actually is a woman. Another person may see another thing and another detail. The “secret” is in the way how we perceive things, there is no such objective correct idea, only subjective impressions of it. We have dealt with different topics in this course and if I asked you: Do you remember the Opera House in Sydney Harbor? I guess you do. If you have the chance to lively see it, I bet the first thing which will draw the attention will be the shell like structure of the overall work. Why do we see this thing first? Because we are familiar to this now, we have a background. The other person may see the
Can technology be equal to “good architecture”? In order to answer this question, first we must consider the building itself, or the genesis of the building. It is like the bricks. If you want to build a wall you would start from 0 level (bricks touch the ground) and then a row above them and so on. So each previous row (in this case) serve as a support. Furthermore, believe it or not the architecture applies the same rule: We must know the past to move on with the present. As Norman Foster has said: “ As an architect, you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown. ” Pier Luigi Nervi was a builder and a non-technician. He made some researches on architectural phenomenon concentrated in two directions: physical structure of a building and the aesthetic aspect of it. If you had asked Nervi what are the basic things before you build a building, he would have been answered: stability, durability, functionality an
Hobby House As a painter and an art lover , I could’ve said that painting is my hobby, but it’s not. Painting is much more than that to me , it’s my love, that’s why I can’t just call it a hobby , since I’ve also worked as a professionist ,taking part in exhibitions and competitions. What I would define as a hobby to me, is astronomy . When I was a very young girl , every night ,I used to sit outside and stare at the sky for hours with my father. I was amazed by the sky and everything in it. My father used to explain me everything about the universe , about stars and planets. I was very curious and always in search of new things. Watching every single documentary about astronomy and reading different encyclopedias, I was able to somehow understand how the universe works. No words can describe my love for the sky , my dream had always been to become an astronomer and work in NASA. Life circumstances led me to different roads and my NASA dream remained just a dream. But I’ll never g
