MAXXI Museum by Zaha Hadid: A parametric urban campus that creates a multi-directional sequence of pathways to mimic the flow of urban life- and also the topic of my undergrad architecture dissertation. Built between the years 1998-2009 and situated amongst former barracks in Rome, MAXXI was awarded the Stirling Prize of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2010. When faced with the physical fluidity of the space, initially influenced by the delta of a river, it is clear that Hadid turned towards the new discipline of architectural design dependent on new image-making processes and computers generated algorithms: a term rendered the concept of ‘parametricism’. The interior of Hadid’s structure appears to be the main event in relation to the motif of an immersive experience for its users. The fluid pathways throughout the gallery are evoked by the curved concrete walls, which Hadid herself describes as similar to a wave breathing on a cliff. The constant motif of water is accompanied by ongoing sounds of dripping water through the pipes of the interior. Zaha Hadid has conjured a parametric, post-modern milestone that juxtaposes its surrounding urban environment, yet encourages the development of Italy towards a more contemporary cultural reset. ?? by:?Emilia Tudor @space.forthesoul?on Instagram #architecture?#interiordesign #parametricdesign?#zahahadid #maxximuseum?#concrete?#inspiration?#creative #postmodern

Vastu Shastra, an ancient Indian architectural science, emphasizes harmonizing the energies in a space to promote well-being and prosperity. Its principles guide the layout, design, and construction of buildings, aiming to create a balanced environment conducive to happiness and success. One significant aspect of Vastu is its focus on orientation. Proper alignment of entrances, rooms, and structures with cardinal directions is believed to optimize the flow of positive energy, or "prana," throughout the space. This alignment can enhance health, wealth, and overall quality of life. Vastu also considers the arrangement of elements within a building. Each direction is associated with specific elements like earth, water, fire, air, and space. Proper placement of these elements is thought to create a harmonious atmosphere, while imbalance can lead to disturbances or obstacles. Moreover, Vastu offers guidelines for architectural features, such as the placement of windows, doors, and mirrors, to maximize natural light and airflow. This promotes a healthy and uplifting environment, supporting physical and mental well-being. While modern science may not fully endorse Vastu's claims, many people still adhere to its principles, believing in their potential to influence their lives positively. Ultimately, whether one follows Vastu or not, creating a space that feels comfortable, functional, and inspiring is paramount for a fulfilling life.

?????? ???????????????????? ???? ??????????: How Different Cultures Perceive and Use Space in Architecture Architecture is a profound cultural expression that reflects how societies perceive and interact with space. This philosophy delves into how different cultures understand, utilize, and give meaning to their environments. ?????????????? ???????????????????? ?????? ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???? ?????????? The Colosseum in Rome exemplifies the Roman approach to public space, designed for communal gatherings and public spectacles, reflecting a society that valued public interaction and civic identity. In contrast, Egypt's pyramids served as monumental tombs, representing a sacred space for the afterlife, highlighting a different cultural perception of space as a conduit between the earthly and the divine. ???????????????? ???????????????????? ???? ?????????????? ???????????????????? Western architecture, influenced by Greek and Roman traditions, often emphasizes grandeur and public domain. This is evident in the grand squares and cathedrals of Western cities. Eastern architecture, such as traditional Japanese design, prioritizes harmony with nature and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces, reflecting a cultural reverence for nature. ?????????? ???? ?? ???????????????????? ???? ???????????? ???????????? Medieval European castles and cathedrals were symbols of power and divine authority, designed to inspire awe. In contrast, ancient Chinese urban planning, such as the Forbidden City, reflects Confucian values of order and harmony, representing the cosmic order and hierarchical structure. ???????????? ???????????????????????? ?????? ???????? ?????????????????? Today's architectural practices raise questions about how we reconcile different cultural perceptions of space in a globalized world. How can modern architecture honour diverse spatial philosophies while addressing sustainability and inclusivity? By exploring the philosophies of space from various cultural perspectives, we gain insights into the values and histories that shape our built environment. ???????????????????? ???? ???????????????????? I invite readers to share their thoughts and perspectives on this topic. How does your cultural background influence your perception of space? Are there ancient structures or modern buildings that you feel exemplify unique spatial philosophies? Let’s engage in a dialogue that bridges past and present, East and West, to understand how architecture shapes and is shaped by our cultural perceptions of space.

After debuting at the?2023 Venice Architecture Biennale, the?Victoria and Albert (V&A)?Museum presents its Tropical Modernism: Architecture and Independence exhibition in London from March 2nd to September 22nd, 2024. The showcase delves into Tropical Modernism, a distinct British contribution to International Modernism, stemming from colonial architecture crafted by architects Jane Drew and Maxwell Fry amid the anti-colonial movements in late 1940s India and West Africa. Through an extensive selection of drawings, photographs, and archival materials, the exhibit traces the colonial roots of Tropical Modernism in British West Africa. It also examines how this architectural style endured in the post-colonial era, symbolizing the independence and progress of nations like India and Ghana. Moreover, it raises a pertinent question:?‘As we look to a new future in an era of climate change, might Tropical Modernism, serve as a useful guide?’.?

Trends are temporary.? Design is eternal. Speaking of architecture, I keep on hearing about Biophilic Architecture; and how the world is moving towards it. I first heard about biophilic design around 2022 and over time I keep on encountering this term now and then.? I decided to do a small research to understand the nuance and identify whether is it just a trend, or a design concept. The word "Biophilia" has its origins in Greek and translates to "love of life"? Bios = Life + Philia = Love The theory of biophilia says that having spent most of our evolutionary history in nature, we have an innate love of nature and natural settings. We connect to nature — both physically and emotionally. In simple words, we aren’t just in nature, we are nature. The concept of biophilia was introduced by psychologist Erich Fromm in 1964 and it was popularized in the 1980s by biologist Edward O. Wilson, who studied the results of lack of connection with nature caused by urban life. To put it quite simply, natural settings help us to be physically and emotionally healthy. Knowing this architects take it in their stride to develop biophilic architecture i.e. helps the occupants experience oneness with nature. In my research, I also encountered terms like Biomorphism, Biomimicry and Bioutilisation. This is where it gets interesting. * Biophilia is concerned with how nature makes us feel.? * Biomorphism looks at nature for inspiration for unconventional forms and is an aesthetic expression. * Biomimicry is rather functional and involves a deeper study of how natural forms are developed. We can take this knowledge and create a design that replicates the functionality.? * Bioutilisation refers to the usage of natural materials in the design. In simple words, Biophilia = Love for nature? Biomorphism = Looks like nature Biomimicry = Works like nature Bioutilisation = Uses nature I often see quite a lot of people using these terms interchangeably, I hope this post helps you understand the differences so that you may use it not as a trend but rather as a design. #vivaacps #biophillia #natureinspired #biophilliccities #luxuryfinishes #architecturedesign #indianarchitects #acpsheets #facade_design #facades #cladding #acp #exteriordesign #aluminiumcompositepanels #modernarchitecture #architects

Think Differently, a book review of Analogical City, 2024. . A review by Hans van der Heijden on my Analogical City in the architecture magazine @archined.nl and in English on The Carpenter’s Eyes Hans van der Heijden . Thank you, Hans, for reading so carefully and perceptively. Some extracts of Van der Heijden’s review: “Rossi himself remained vague about his concept of the analog city. So a study of this concept is welcome, especially when conducted by an author at a distance from the architectural debate in Italy half a century ago.” “McEwan conceives of the analogy as an expression of ‘thinking differently’, as an act of rebellion that is oppositional and critical. … [He] writes the history of the concepts and ideas that led to Rossi’s concept of the analogue city. The jargon of Rossi’s time undoubtedly needs interpretation today.” “One of McEwan’s merits with this book is that he demystifies the notion of the analogue city and demonstrates vividly how analogy offered Rossi the space to ‘think differently’.” “McEwan argues for a resistant authorship of the architect who wants to be in dialogue with common historical and political realities.” And on the question of the historical city and periphery relation, van der Heijden: “The ancient city is doing fine these days. Amsterdam and Venice are succumbing to their own fame. McEwan’s observations are an encouragement to understand the new diffuse city factory as architecture.” A few more in the comments bar soon…. . #AnalogicalCity #AldoRossi #latendenza #designresearch #architectureresearch #architecturetheory #architecturaltheory #thinkingarchitecture #theory #archcollage #drawing #drawingarchitecture #drawingpapers #drawingpractice #montage #criticalpractice #cities #architecture #architect #archdaily #architektur #arquitectura #archittetura #architectuur #koozarch #oabooks #archined #boek #bookreview Here https://lnkd.in/eJeevSRs and in English here https://lnkd.in/eihFmYdq.

Perceptive Transcendence: Architectural Transformations from Circle to Square in a Pantheistic Realm In delving into the narrative of "a classical sphere of thinking" in architecture, we embark on a journey that transcends mere physical structures, delving into the realm of philosophy, symbolism, and the very essence of existence itself. At its core lies the exploration of complex geometries derived from primary symbols, particularly those rooted in the mathematics of area and the transformation of the circle into a square. Central to this narrative is the notion of architecture as a transformative force, not just shaping physical spaces but also moulding perceptions and realities. This perspective embraces a pantheistic worldview, wherein the divine is perceived as immanent within the natural world, and every aspect of existence is imbued with spiritual significance. The circle, with its infinite and continuous form, symbolizes unity, wholeness, and the cyclical nature of existence. It represents the interconnectedness of all things and the eternal rhythm of life. Meanwhile, the square, with its straight lines and precise angles, signifies stability, order, and rationality. It embodies the human impulse to impose structure and organization upon the chaos of the world. Through the transformation of the circle into the square, architecture becomes a vessel for the manifestation of these fundamental principles. It is not merely about constructing buildings but about engaging in a dialogue with the cosmos, translating abstract concepts into tangible forms. The complex geometries that emerge from this process are not arbitrary but rather reflective of deeper truths embedded within the fabric of reality. This narrative invites us to reconsider our relationship with the built environment, encouraging us to perceive architecture not as a static entity but as a dynamic interplay between form and function, symbolism and meaning. It challenges us to see beyond the surface level of design and construction, inviting us to contemplate the deeper layers of significance encoded within every structure. In embracing this classical sphere of thinking, architects become not just designers but also philosophers, artists, and spiritual seekers. They are tasked with the profound responsibility of shaping not just spaces but perceptions, guiding humanity towards a deeper understanding of itself and its place within the cosmos. #ArchitecturalPerception #PantheisticDesign #GeometryInArchitecture #TranscendentalSpaces #CircleToSquare #PhilosophicalArchitecture
