THE INNATE THOUGHT PROCESS OF THE MIND

 As infrastructures have continued to advance in more linear and dynamic ways, many still look to prioritize a specific design compared to simpler times. One such artist (if you could call him that) is Peter Zumthor who designed the thermal baths in a very peculiar yet stunning manner. It truly is mind boggling as to how some individuals manage such a build.

One thing is undeniable however, and that is the stability needed to keep such structures afloat. For example, Georges Pompidou Centre, although it's appearance may look bleak and/or unstable, it is finely built in such a manner and area which allow it to survive most if not all natural threats that would otherwise cause cataclysmic damage. If a design cannot meet stability then it could very well lead to disastrous results and even casualties among individuals.

It is crucial for the design of any structure to also pertain a certain meaning behind it's design without having to take away from it's purpose. The reasoning behind that is left for interpretation by those who witness such creations. What good is it if someone creates a jaw dropping building with the most lavish of looks but locates it in the most secluded and eerie of places? The importance of location is also essential in order to turn more heads in awe.

All things considered, I prefer cement, but don't pay heed to that for all materials have a certain trait to them which bestow a different meaning due to there weight, appearance or tone. We must gradually analyze all these things and take into consideration how our buildings will transcribe the message to the people based off how we go about it as designers. What will our structure portray? What will be the end goal? what purpose does it ultimately serve? Observation is key to distribution.

Unprecedented Knowledge

The world of architecture's history has Rafael Moneo's legacy as the manifestation of the impact of creation emanating from history, context and cultural significance. The Museum of Roman Imperial Archeological Spanish Mérida with projects like is, by Moneo, that was more than just about function, but it was rather about creating spaces that allowed the fusion of modern architecture and ancient ruins. This integration not just protects cultural heritage of the site but also brings a very strong experience of being in touch with the roots, thus, enriching cultural identity of community. Additionally, Moneo's unique design concepts seen in the Kursaal Congress Centre and Auditorium in San Sebastián demonstrate more than just his capability to go beyond the borders of architectural expression but also suggest a reaction to the environment.  Elements like transparency, light, and fluid flowing bring a deep sense of connection through nature and add richness to our lives produci

THE ENTANGLEMENT OF ALL PEOPLE

As time has progressed throughout all history since the dawn of man, there have been many interpretations as to how oneself should live life, yet many would see to it only one way in order to keep order and balance in ones life. This lifestyle and the connection behind how people interpret life is what must be taken into consideration. During the progression of each individual scene, I observed that every culture implements many alternative methods towards worshipping some higher being or individual. Despite the splintered link between one region and the other in terms of deity or way of living, one thing is undisputable, that is the communication. Whether it be verbal or non-verbal, written or visual, etc. ,we still (and forever so) need this in order to get by with others. Although the people have there differences it must be respected and appreciated to a degree due to the fact that they have established order within the very society they live in and that is something that should no

Life Journey

 Inadequate financial and political situation in early Berlin called Mies van der Rohe to the United States where he reached highs of his career. The exposition "Mies in Berlin" will demonstrate the entire creative process of Mies, with the understanding of his rapid ascent into a world-wide respected architect. By the end of his career, he had founded his own architectural firm, developed his unique style that is quite similar to simple shapes, straight lines, wide spaces and quality material, in particular.   The exhibition demonstrates the depth and complexity of Mies's German work but also turns upside down the idea that this work is regarded in just a preparatory phase before his American work. Through the presentation of uncovered domains of his professional life, such as his Natural Space and Modem Space ideas, the exhibit makes the audience to realize the complexity and the deeper look into the nature of the design philosophy of Mies. Rather than being a part of a
