Steadfast Willingness

 Frank Lloyd Wrights American architecture legacy stands out as one of the best of all times, earning the place of this influential figure among the best architects. In the form of buildings as Fallingwater or Guggenheim Museum, Wright's designs broke down the existing architectural thinking and moved into the new trend in design innovation. He believed that organic architecture is a design that tries to maintain the harmony among the built environment and the natural world, an idea that inspires designers to this day. 

 

From now on, Wright's attention to the assimilation of buildings with nature and incorporation of such materials as wood and rock along with creating spaces that focus on the psychological wellbeing of the tenants has made an indelible mark on the U.  S.  architectural style. His prairie school style used horizontal structures, open plan and geometric shapes that became a new bench mark in modern residential architecture. In addition to the exploration of novel construction techniques and technology, it also set the stage for what was to come in the field of architecture. 

 

The name Luis Fernández-Galiano is linked to that of the world of architectural criticism, where he is known for his incisive argumentations and profound knowledge of the architecture of our times. He contributed a lot with his writings and presentations to set the stage for a new thought about the architectural theory and brought together the architectural community. His sharp intelligences in architectural theory, history, and practice have pointed out the fact that he is one of the most knowledgeable and prominent figures of the architecture. 

 

Fernández-Galiano drew from interdisciplinary angles as she used art history, sociology, and urban studies to provide broad and comprehensive viewpoints on architectural tendencies and movementsHis gift to attribute even built structures to more extensive cultural, social and political content opens a discussion about the processes of contemporary architecture and makes people think about the current situation in cities they are living in. 

 

Finally, both architects have been able to provide the field of architecture with indispensable contributions, nevertheless of different methods. The Wright's brilliant designs and philosophy left behind the indestructible imprint on the American architecture, the same things, that the Fernández-Galiano's clever theory-based critique and academic contribution do now, which help to enrich the architecture discipline and fuel the intellectual inquiry of the architectural profession. Combined, these timeless legacies honor the immense cultural impact of architecture that can not only amaze, but can make one wonder or just plain move the humanity.

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

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
