The internationally awarded architect company Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG) Studio has been drawing headlines around the world with their impressive projects. To be known as one of the innovative architects throughout the time, founder and architect Bjarke Ingels is full with enthusiasm and ideas and making the society as the main ingredients in the design process. He views architecture as art and science of accommodating life which the architect have to make sure that the city and buildings are actually fits in the way that we want to live. (GSD, 2014)
Offering such idea into architecture, the firm has established a reputation for challenging the traditional architecture approach by creating structural entities that speaking about our constantly evolving world (designboom, 2014). ‘Yes is More’ stand as a philosophy of BIG which basically an evolution from Mies Van de Rohe, a modernist architect that triggered the agenda of ‘less is more’ into their design. That is some sort of minimalist approach that is being encountered in that time however the modern building became less attractive and new evolution had to be made (Ingels, 2015). BIG tries to contribute to the societal evolution throughout their architecture. The social environmental issues are the concerns and demands from each of the project not just the aesthetic values and facades.
Hedonistic Sustainability is the concept that represent the approach by BIG, making a combination of playfulness and responsibilities in
Interior design is a profession that is undertaken academically just like other professional careers. It mainly involves the development and imparting of skills, knowledge and attitudes that pertains the activities undertaken in the building and construction industry. The profession of interior designing goes beyond designing how a structure will look because it incorporates environmental issues especially aesthetic value of the structure to be constructed, the ergonomics, local fire codes and besides studying fundamental design issues and practice in the building and construction industry (Guerin & Thompson, 2014). Even though the profession is not as old as some of the established professions, the fact remains that the fundamentals of design
The architecture design he has created, developed all through historical factors and in the last few decades some very exciting
The old saying, “form follows function”, implies that the shape of a building or object should be primarily based on its intended function or purpose. This principle, which I find intriguing and was introduced to me during my undergraduate architecture study, was propounded by Louis Henry Sullivan, an American Architect who is also referred to as the "father of skyscrapers" and "father of modernism". Hence, I have developed a keen interest in the science, technology, construction, and functionality of sophisticated edifices. Also, I envision myself being globally competitive, and as a professional asset to my home country and beyond. These has led to a deep desire to further my education and pursue a Master of Architecture program and I believe the Bowling Green State University (BGSU) is the right academic environment in which to do so. The quality education offered by the outstanding faculty as well as the effort at promoting innovative concepts, cross-cultural diversity, and great alumni networks, are undeniable perks obtainable at Bowling Green State University. Studying at the Bowling Green State University will provide the opportunity that would expose me to new innovations and concepts, nurture and enhance my skills, as well as make me a competent and seasoned architect that clients can rely on.
Architecture should be nurturing, responsive and alive, dynamically shifting spatial balances, organically expressive forms, subtly luminous colors and biologically healthy. To achieve such life-enhancing architecture, it has to address all the body senses simultaneously and fuse our image of self with experience of the world. By strengthening our sense of self and reality, architecture serves its all-important function of accommodation and
Third year has marked a turning point in my attitudes towards architecture as a began to fully embrace the use of technology in design. Previously, I had limited my use of technology and mostly relied on traditional methods from the production of design drawings and models. However, the use of technology in the
To solve these problems and the detriment to the environment that stems from them, the authors call for a complete paradigm shift in our current way of living. To start off that shift they interpret the definition of sustainability as being too limiting. They instead introduce the term of sustainability-as-flourishing. This is basically a state in which an individual feels a sense of
From Brutalism to Postmodernism to Minimalism, Kahn’s many directions and superficial fashions can be traced to roots in his original oeuvre. The timelessness of the design and deep personal involvement of Kahn is undoubtedly some of its greatest qualities. Timelessness is exemplified in his Salk Institute design, containing aspects and principles that in a certain sense can be described as universal or eternally valid. In terms of where the structure sits within his portfolio of work, the case can be made that all of Kahn’s later buildings are directly developed from concepts first presented in his design for the Salk Institute. The Institute reformed how we think about buildings and space for those who inhabit it , as well as the honesty and “truth” in the use of materials and their architectural combination.
Sustainable architecture is a specific kind of design which focuses on meeting the needs of these generations without compromising the needs of those generations to come. Architects from around the world have become aware of the impact that society has on the environment, and have created sustainable architecture in order to help preserve the environment, but at the same time, create comfortable spaces that are ideal for living and are aesthetically pleasing. This innovative architecture has attracted many architects from all over the world, in order to implement these new structures into every day life. Despite the different climates and conditions around the globe, sustainable architecture can be developed in order to satisfy the needs
Choose an architect or practice whose work is covered by or relevant to this course and discuss critically one or more of their design projects or drawings or urban proposals as precedent case-studies. Selectively situate this work in relation to their body of work, and against the practices and concerns of the period. Focus on the architectural qualities of a specific key aspect of the design of the projects. Selectively consider how they might relate to the historical situation, cultural values, theoretical concerns and design practices of the time. This may involve a selective analysis of compositional design practices, material fabrication production and the experiential reception of built outcomes of the projects.
This essay will discuss the idea of sustainability, how
My hobby is loved to travel and I enjoy travelling to another country and places on different cities and learn their architecture, culture and urbanism as a whole. Nowadays, sustainable architecture its one of the most factors we need to think and care about for user at the future because I believe that someday that Sustainable Architecture will become a vital role and become the most important thing and have potential to improve user's quality of life at the future. So, nowadays architecture was one of the important roles to upgrade and provided a vital role to a community daily life at the future. I choose UK one of the places that I want further my study in Architecture because I hope that can adapt with community around the world to make me more matured and sensitive about the local culture. I also choose to further my study in Architecture especially in UK because I believe that strong communities between another races are created from good neighborhoods. From there we can communicate each other, exchange views and learns together because I believe we can more matured enough in study, working and improved our views in architecture if we learn and gets a feedback from other people, community and
Architecture is the art of planning and designing of a space or a building so as to suite a certain function or a technical use. To do this one requires creativity and experience in the manipulation of materials and coordinating these materials using technology to build the several parts of a building. The architect has to consider the scheduling and cost estimation before building. The behavior of the building during different climatic changes must also be considered. It should be able to withstand strong winds or very high temperatures. Throughout the years new designs for building have been invented and new materials have been discovered. Before man could build a house he lived in caves. Through the advancement of technology as he evolved, building became more appealing and better built. There is no doubt that technology helps in advancing architecture. Architectural designs have also come a long way, in that they get better by the years. However, in the 21st century, various building and design software are created to help architectures and engineers in drawing and balancing of materials.
With 7,000 registered historic buildings standing as testimony to its rich architectural heritage, Amsterdam is known as one of Europe’s premier architecture and design cities. Being one of the finest planned cities in northern Europe, it is a haven for architectural connoisseurs. The city has also been recognized for its contribution in the organic development of modern architecture.
Architecture can be related to anything such as society or science, society demands the building of their dream and science made building possible. Science and architect share a mutual goal where both intended to improve the society life style or in another word, to achieve community utopia. Science and architect is one of the main elements to promote utopia and this really make the society to believe that utopia exist. The future will be the combination of science and spirituality, and they should be together forever. In fact, only when we successfully continue to improve our level of consciousness and match the level of science and technology, human beings have a future. The future of humanity is very unpredictable, science may change the world as they see fits such as no disease, no hunger or no pain. Science can explain many problems, from the taste of the food to love, because love is the product of science! Nowadays for the environment, sea level rises every year and many countries started land reclamation to fix the problem such as Japan or Netherland. To face these problems, the architect has made a lot of conceptual idea to accommodate future human life. Since then, conceptual-floating foundation design has been under development to adapt the environmental issue. It uses the principle of buoyancy to support the design and the principle itself is discovered by the scientist, which architect adapted this principle to the design.
