A building concern

I am amazed at the way people mimic the building styles of different regions. Every region has a distinct style that has evolved over time, incorporating the prevailing weather and natural resources that abound in the area. Blindly stated, the building style followed in a desert region cannot be adapted to one being built in the colder regions. All the places have their own natural resources that are well adapted for the requirements of that region. Of course, these can be used to a small extent in other regions, but using them entirely would pose problems of a different nature, eg. making them seem less welcoming or worse, a feeling of unease or a lack of symmetry.

What makes a building beautiful?

Many people have different views about what types of buildings are beautiful, but is there a formula to what makes a building good, or is it just down to whether it makes you feel a certain way when you see it? Many people agree that certain types and styles of buildign are beautiful, but there always seems to be a rift when it comes to modern design, as some people love it and some hate it.

Thoughts about architecture…

If you drive by a billboard and see a sign proclaiming “ Hua Hin Property For Sale ”, you might think that a real estate agent is the only one involved in the sale of that property. However, you are discounting the people or companies that buy desirable properties and interior designers or decorators, who pride themselves on making a property more desirable. What you may not know is that there is a whole community of people in the architecture business. They all serve different needs but each job is important to the building, repairing, selling and buying of a property.

Exhibition Review: 50 Years of London Architecture 1960 – 2010

Over the summer there was a very unique and historical exhibition that showcases some of the evolution of architecture since 1960. 50 Years of London Architecture 1960 – 2010 is truly an exhibition you do not want to miss out on. It is an exhibition of high quality photographs that show you the magnificent architecture that can be found in the beautiful city of London in its full glory and extravagant detail.

There were more than three hundred and fifty photographs displayed in a large format print that visitors were able to see and understand how architecture has change over the last half a century. They were all taken with care to showcase a unique and well planed overview of the prosperous and rich London architecture.

At the 50 Years of London Architecture 1960 – 2010 exhibition, visitors regardless of their job positions can come and enjoy while looking at what various British architects had made a reality in London, since 1960. The show was held on the graound at the University of Westminster at the Ambika P3.

Some of the models of buildings that were on display may be more or less known to people outside of London at least by name but here are the names of a few. They are the Canary Wharf and Dulwich Picture Gallery as well as the Tate Modern and Economist building. Regardless if you know or not the buildings by the name it is still a phenomenal way to see and understand the city and its paths while it was progressing.

The exhibition shows the changes that have occurred not only in the architecture but also in the city as a whole and in the styles of the periods. This was by far one of those exhibitions that many architects and would be architects and building designers should have seen.

Spanish Revival Architecture

Easily one of the more popular and yet beautiful architectural styles around is Spanish architecture. It is mainly seen in many old building in countries and regions here the Spanish influence is strong. Of lately though Spanish revival architecture has seen a resurgence across many cities across the world. In the United States it is mostly to be found in the southeastern states such as Florida, where you find the Spanish speaking population that this kind of architecture is dominant.

The main feature of Spanish architecture is the intricately carved designs, the ay in which the whole structure is framed, and the red tiles that are seen on the roofs. These are all common features to e seen in many housing developments, especially those close to cities. In an effort to blend the outside Spanish architecture look with hat is inside the home many homeowners have tried to incorporate Spanish styles furniture throughout their homes.

This type of architecture is also heavily uses columns most of which are rounded in design with heavy carvings. In the older buildings and also in some of the new ones the carvings depict Jesus Christ’s death and others will tell a story of the earlier days of the Spanish culture. There are also the traditional large windows and doors on the new modern building with a bit of more updated flair. There is still the use of wrought iron around the windows and also the windows are sounded at the top.

Many Spanish Revival homes come with the traditional ceramic floorings while some will have floorings that use patterned tiles. The walls will likely be stucco in nature and will be lying behind the brick. The entryways are usually filled with arches and the balconies tend to have designs that are intricate in nature.

Bjarke Ingles Group

New York, a metropolis that we will not witness completely evolved, is in a constant state of architectural development. Some innovative ideas are promising to reshape completely the outlook of the city and to bring significant diversity in the core of the city - Manhattan. And one of the most striking projects that are surely being released somewhere in the future is the Bjarke Ingles Group pyramid-shaped building inspired by Danish architectural excellence and modern trends in architecture.

After witnessing the project itself as a scratch, you might feel that rush to picture it and carry it with you on your R4 memory stick. This is how impressive the work is. Planned and positioned near the Hudson river, the pyramid structure would sit atop of a podium which would contain the cultural space, shops and other citizen-friendly and attractive facilities. Despite being designed solely for corporate use by office people, the architect, Bjarke Ingles from Copenhagen, is not excluding the possibility that tenants might enjoy the last floors of the building (surely it would be an expensive pleasure with a view of the nearby Hudson river).

The unusual design that would grow to a building on Manhattan’s West Side (still awaiting approval of the land by state authority) is not aimed to fascinate the people with its angularity. The building is specially intended to reveal a larger view of Manhattan and its construction would allow sightseeing on a different level, as claimed by its engineer. Some of the features of the construction and completely innovative in the world of architecture as the materials for the construction would be the lightest allowing such composition and at the same time some of the most durable construction materials available out there.

Definitely, Bjarke Ingles Group would be one of the many architectural innovations to grow in the never-aging New York City. And with such projects already being developed, it is a question with no answer what exactly can we expect in the future.
